'I am like a child again.' Several inches of snow fell on Mt. Hamilton Sunday morning, enough to entice Bay Area residents to drive up to Lick Observatory to enjoy something not common.
Sweeney may have used this opportunity to enjoy being back in the snow, but others took this chance to see snow for the first time.
"It has always been a dream of mine to come into the snow," said Serena Aponte."Now it is coming true. It is like I am in a movie."Sledding, snow angels and snow ball fights were only just some of the fun people enjoyed. Parents say it was a good chance to do different activities with their kids. "We usually would have to drive to Lake Tahoe or Truckee," said Felipe Alvarez, who brought his three kids to play in the snow."It is here in the Bay Area. We love nature so this was a no brainer."
