Northern California got lucky in January with weather as good as (maybe even better) than what we see in the summer months, but that's all a distant memory because for the last few weeks, we've been hammered. Last week saw the worst thunderstorm I've seen in my 25+ years in the Bay Area, including a hail storm that lasted nearly 10 minutes. A thick layer of pea-sized ice made it look as if snow had fallen and my hope is the dymondia margaretae we just planted survives the shock. Much of this weather just hasn't been flyable in a small airplane, but there have been a few exceptions.
