Haha! Look what Adam left at my house. And as you can see, I am not as fat as you all think I am.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AFTER 8 PM. IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS… SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED DOWN TO SEA LEVEL.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF AND SNOW LEVELS WILL GRADUALLY RISE TO 2500 FEET BY MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE STORM MOVES EAST OF THE REGION.

From my screen saver:  proof that its colder in Arcata than in Chicago.  And, for all of you NOT in Arcata, notice that the Arcata symbol shows SNOW.    Snow started at about 2pm….big flakes.  Still snowing an hour later.  It’s not sticking here at sea level (yet), but I am sure that the Smith’s will share some photos from up on the hill in McKinleyville.
