It's cold out!

We went out to the Oakley-Antioch Regional Shoreline for about an hour this afternoon to kick the old soccer ball about and just about froze. The wind was brutal and the chill cut through sweaters and jackets. This is some winter-like cold front moving through.

The up-side is that all the gook that usually obscures the view during the warmer months has been blown away, allowing a crystal clear view all the way east to the Sierras. Those mountains received a decent coat of snow in the past 24 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if our own Mount Diablo gets a little frosty upstairs overnight.

The fishermen don't seem to mind the cold at all. They were swarming over the Bridgehead pier with lines extended into the Delta. I understand the bass fishing is awesome right now. Ought to be decent for sturgeon as well.
