Mixed March Weather

Definitely more like a March feeling this week.  The snow has been down very low on the mountains in the morning, with occasionally flurries in the valley bottom.   Today was dull and grey with the mountains mostly shrouded in the cold misty clouds, that usually mean they are receiving their own dose of mountain generated precipitation.  The rapid advance of spring that was evident has been slowed a bit this week with night time temperatures near or below 0 C and the days not quite as warm.  In an earlier part of my life we used to call these kind of days "herring weather" for the kind of weather that was typical in the days of the great Central Coast herring fisheries.
