Snowing in Highland CA

The following rain washed the snow off .my car and melted most of it from the yard. The only other time had seen snow on the ground where I lived was in Canoga Park when I was in Junior High. I do not remember if I was in 8th or 9th grade at that time.

Great picture! Thanks.

We had rain and wind but no snow or hail. And our electrical power remained on in San Clemente, Ca. Our citrus crop (one tangerine tree) had already given us its annual crop, so no damage that I am aware of...

Hopefully this will turn out to be our first snowless winter in decades here in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

You have to like to do snowmobiling.. especially in upstate New York… why do you think they actually pray for global warming! Salty, you need to tell him what it’s really like… Like 200inches of snow each year… something you must prepare for. It snows from October to May, sometimes June. Then there are the lake effects. My family in Hamburg/ Blasedale NY could tell you stories however it makes for a close community (for survival).;)

Syracuse has never gotten 200" in one year! Our record is only 197".
Now, if you go up to the Tug Hill area - they have had in excess of 400" in one year.
Where the heck is Tug Hill? I was there ( near Syracuse),in a hotel for a month. Every day was grey, overcast and it snowed every darn day! I was asked to interview with a company called Pass & Seymour and the common question each interviewer asked was, “how do you feel your wife’s going to deal with all this snow” LOL. Wonder what the divorce rate must’ve been.

Generally, Ft Drum NY, covers a portion of Tug Hill.
Drum is about 70 north of Syracuse..

Back in 1963, the dad next door to our house worked at Pass and semore!

Tug Hill is an elevated area 10-20 miles east of Lake Ontario and adds orographics to the abundant lake effect.
We average near 90" a year in the Maine foothills, but our 10 years in Fort Kent (northern Maine) ran 130"+ with a peak of 186.7" in 1976-77. Nippy too - we moved there from Bangor on New Year's Day of 1976 on a day with temperature in the low 20s. Eleven days later it was 41 below, 4th day of a frigid streak with lows of -33, -24, -36, -41 and -37. Only on the final hours of that last day did the temperature rise above zero.
