For those of you who don't know, San Jose is the largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area. In terms of population it is larger than Oakland, San Francisco, and Petaluma. It sits at the base of some mountains (hills really) and was once the target of a James Bond villain.

Every Winter it is also the recipient of a lot of precipitation. Sometimes it gets cold enough for snow to fall in the nearby mountains.

Schools don't close in the city, and the snow rarely lasts longer than a day, but this might offer some comfort to those of you East of the Sierras. Snow may not fall in San Francisco, but San Jose is another story.
