Snowstorm?? Coming

Wednesday and off to the Museum for another day in my volunteer commitment of two days a week. Today I plan on digging out whatever information we have about snow in Crockett because the weatherpeople are saying that this weekend we may have snow down to 1000 ft.. The neatest weather page I've seen in awhile is an interactive map of every reporting point in the US. Take a look at it and enjoy. As an old (both age and long ago) weatherman I remember having to take the reports sent via teletype, plotting the data on a map and then giving it to the forecaster to analyze and send it out via fax machine.

Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds is still in the crosshairs of the District Attorney although the latest indictment dropped some more counts. Given the stated intent to cut the costs in the courts, etc., one would think they have more important and urgent things to do than to take on something several years old that have little chance of conviction.
