SYNOPSIS:

Hail in SF, snow at 1,000 ft, unplowed roads, 15 ft of new, and cold temps equate to some quality times being so sick that one cannot make it into work.

Hop called just as we hit Hwy 24, and told him just to meet us up at Kirkwood. Literally just off the boat from Guam, you can see his bloggage of the day in this thread:
