Craig;

We had a storm during the winter of 1982 that dumped 17 feet of snow on the Sierra Nevada range. This storm left 17 inches on the Rockies which was reported on National news. The 17 feet did not make the news.

At my uncles ranch in Janesville, California, 20 feet fell during a storm during the 1980's and it covered the house up to the second story window. Nice way to enjoy the winter – from your own house inside an igloo! That can put emphasis upon the term “Spring Thaw”! Come on Spring!

>>>Hiway 101 at Petaluma was closed "due to deep snow". We had snow at sea level in some places.<

>>Wow, sounds nasty. < g > I wonder how "deep" the snow was. Snow at sea level is quite unusual. I lived in the North Bay (Napa) for 6 years and I remember once a few years ago how excited everyone got cuz there was a little snow up in the hills (snow level was probably at about 1000ft) ... but I think that they said it hadn't snowed in the City itself since the early 1900's or something like that. Figures ... as soon as I move away, you all get a little excitement!! < g >
