Fuji, we were instead caught in a snowstorm in the mountains there, that forced us to abandon the mountains because we hadn't brought chains. So, this kind of late-snow stuff is happening in many locations!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288729661906055614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-7207041706805457762010-04-09T13:12:07.801-07:002010-04-09T13:12:07.801-07:00Had a nice little burst of rice-sized hail here on...Had a nice little burst of rice-sized hail here on Capitol Hill just before noon.
