Actually, it IS that cold in Oakland, but that picture was taking in Yakima, Washington. I fear I brought the cold weather south with me. 
Good news for skiing, though!

Jag,
Yes it is cold in Oakland. I was chatting with my sister in law last night. She lives in Dublin, California which is south-east of Oakland. The temperature was supposed to be getting down to freezing last night! The temps are not much different than Vancouver right now except for the daytime highs. An early spring trip to Hawaii or Mexico is definitely in the plans for next year.....
Cheers,
Shaun

Shaun, I've got a nephew in Dublin, and a sister in Pleasanton. Boy! Was she whimpering and crying about the cold yesterday. I'm in Cleveland, so she never gets any sympathy from ME. HA!

And neither should she! I live in SF (and it's cold for the bay area, without a doubt).
However, I grew up in Iowa where the temp dropped to -20 on a regular basis and I often saw my breath first thing in the morning inside my own house. 40 degrees and sunny just does not compare.
I smile to myself everytime the news has 'frost' warnings. The first few times I did not get it. I thought they were talking about something else. In my mind it was painfully obvious that there would be frost if the temp dropped below 32degrees. I wondered why they were telling me that there was frost.

i laugh. we had our first 'hard' freeze last night, and the weather guys on TV were acting like it was armaggeddon or something. the guy was leapin' and hollerin', "its gonna be cold in the morning. lock up the dogs, cover your plants, and put some anti-freeze in your car, there is a FREEZE warning"... blah, blah... i walked out the door this morning at 7:20am, and it was about 25F degrees, there was a nice icy frost on the ground, and the sun was just coming over the horizon. it was beautiful. weather guys are such over-actors...
