As the last several days of rain tapers off, forecasters are predicting another form of precipitation for the Bay Area: Snow! (Just not very much of it.)

According to the Chron, meteorologists "are eyeing Christmas Eve for the potential climate mixture that could bring snow" to the Bay Area's higher elevations.

But first, it's going to get cold, National Weather Service forecaster Steve Anderson says, so cold that "there could be a white Christmas in sight of the Bay Area,” he tells the Chron.

KPIX weather anchor Roberta Gonzales agrees, saying that "We will see a dusting" on Christmas day, with accumulation (that is, snow that "sticks") "on Mount Hamilton, though we should see a dusting on Mount St. Helena too."

"We could see a wintry mix of sleet and snow on Mount Tamalpias, but I don't expect it to stick... We could also see a little dusting on Mt. Diablo and even Mission Peak," Gonzales says.

Before you start seeking VC for that app to disrupt the snowman industry, Gonzales warns that those of us living at sea level are unlikely to get hit with any natural snowballs. "The last time we had snowfall down at sea level was in February of 1976," she tells the Chron, which has published several great photosets of the mid-70s snowfall in SF.

"I remember specifically that we had some snow flakes on February 26, 2011 as far down 1,000 feet at the Dublin-Pleasanton ridge," Gonzales also says, but that year's promised weather event was kind of a bust in SF. Mount Diablo did get enough to ski on in 2008, and another nice layer of snow in 2013, though!

By 10 a.m. on Christmas, Gonzales says, the precipitation should end and the weather will turn clear and cold, making for "a sunny but cool afternoon," Anderson says. So, to see "real" show in SF, you might have to turn to something like Wells Fargo's "Holiday Magic" dohickey (sorry about the barfy autoplay music), which will turn any street on Google Street View into "a winter wonderland," they claim. Sure, why not?
