There's snow in San Jose California! Plus, some are worried precipitation could last longer than usual and begin melting snowpack causing huge floods.

5yo at bedtime, after all the books and songs and tuck-in, and he’s all nestled down and snug, in a quiet sleepy whisper: “Daddy?” “Yes?” “How many times have you ever vomited?”

I'm a Shortwave user and I'm really excited about this new feature, and I look forward to seeing more ways LLMs can be used in apps. Politano approved of the summary btw.
