It was a good time to turn back...I made it home moments before a rain squall let loose.

Sierra road 2500 feet above San Jose,ca.

Ah yes, there's the rain on its way across the valley towards you (and a 'no parking any time' sign?). The dark look and feel to this image is quite real -- just like we're there.
Looks like we'll have about a week's more storms to chase, as well. Maybe you can catch some snow pix!
Here's the Mt. Ham cam link, with more storm views:

Thanks Pam. Great analysis,and I like your idea!
After that ride I'll never complain about it being too hot ever again. :O)
The wind chill at this location had to be about 20*F.

I appreciate the feedback.

I love it. Lived in San Jose for many years. I recognized this view from Mt. Ham Road. I can't believe how many TALL buildings there are in downtown San Jose. Its been many years - I gotta go back. Most vivid memory was taking dirt bikes across the Santa Cruz Mtns to Felton. Long time ago... I was much younger and spent lots of time in the hills doing things other than picture taking! ;-) Thanks Rick - for taking me home!
