- WTF Friday: Is that snow? - Friday, October 15, 2004 Heh. Snow in Sacramento? Don't make me laugh. Snow is only for those that live in climates that have all four seasons. Although Sac-town's unpredictable weather wouldn't make me bat an eyelash if you told me that there was a combination hurricane AND earthquake - a hurriquake - coming by the end of the week, the idea of snow is utterly ridiculous. I was running arrands the other day, and saw this white flakey stuff on my car. What was odd was the sky was almost an amber color, overcast, and HAZY as hell. *blink* whoa? But really, I discovered it wasn't snow. The air was thick and it smelt like the day after the bonfire at a camping trip. Uh, yeah, something's wrong here. Apparently Northern Cali is having unplanned wildfires and it's causing us to have this post-cookout weather. It's doing a number on my sinuses, and a ton of kids in near by schools went home because the haze was making them sick. Hey, if I can handle 3 hours in a casino next to an extremely large human frantically smoking on a cigar as if sucking the life outta that thing would give him super powers and a girlfriend named Pamela, then I think I can deal with a bit of smokey valley haze. While I'm not ready to find a bright side to this, or bust out the marshmallows on a stick, at least it's kept us from the blazing post-summer aftershock heat. See? I really am an optimist.
