Snow in The City

Two nearby articles made me sorta laugh.  First:
Will history repeat itself?

More than an inch of snow fell in San Francisco this same week 43 years ago on Feb. 6, 1976, and this week there's an ever-so-slight chance of snow in the city "if the timing is right," says forecaster Jan Null, who runs private forecasting service Golden Gate Weather Services...

As for San Francisco, Null says it's "not impossible" Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro, both at about 900 feet elevation, will see snow, but "the odds are less" because temperatures warm up near the ocean.
Now, think about snow falling in San Francisco as this 737 takes off just across the bay:
Southwest Airlines on Tuesday will start Federal Aviation Administration certification flights between the mainland United States and Hawaii, the airline confirmed to SFGate on Monday.

"We can confirm that Southwest is slated to perform a long range navigation and communication validation flight from Oakland to Honolulu on Tuesday, February 5, barring any unforeseen changes," said Southwest spokesperson Brian Parrish.

The flights are the final phase in the airline's effort to obtain federal approval to launch passenger flights between California and the Hawaiian islands, a process that began in late 2017. Southwest will make no announcements about fares or schedules until it receives certification from the FAA.
You know what? If global warming brings snow to San Francisco, how bad can it be?

You heaven, climate denier, it's "climate change," it has never been "global cooling," or "global warming," we have always said "climate change." It's hot, it's "climate change." It's cold, it's "climate change." It's always "climate change," you denier! Repent. Send all you own to the ALGORE and live on the street, you have sinned!

On a more serious note, love SWA moving to Hawaiian service.
