Temperatures dipped into the 30s in Oakland last night, causing snow to drop in the hills. It sprinkled over much of the East Bay, from Danville to Mount Diablo. No storms to report; just a dusting, like a layer of powdered sugar. Below is a photo taken this morning just blocks from Skyline High School:
Mayor Ron Dellums, who lives on this street, was undoubtedly as surprised as other Oaklanders; snow is a rarity here. Whether his limo (reportedly seen by a neighbor on occasion) carries chains is unknown.
Tonight, Oakland lows will dip down to freezing. Time to bust out the winter blankets and sip on White Christmas Dream cocktails.
