Historically, for the Bay of San Francisco February 5 — the snow day of the year. 5 Feb 1887 5 Feb 1976, at the tops of the mountains in the Bay area fell quite a lot of snow. And now it happened again in 2019.
Despite the fact that in the coastal areas were raging winter storm, the snow level was surprisingly low for such weather. Compared to the recent snowfall, people from the coast precipitation in 1887 and 1976 was more impressive, especially in the heart of San Francisco.

5 Feb 1887 — the snowy day in San Francisco — then fell about 10 inches of rain, according to the office of the National weather services (NWS). The top of the mountain twin Peaks snow covered by as much as 17 cm.
February 5, 1976, the snow was not very thick, but still, the rainfall was intense. In areas of the valley recorded 3 cm of snow, and twin Peaks were covered with snow layer in 13 see
Snowfall February 5, 2019, also didn’t disappoint, as any snow in San Francisco is a spectacular sight. But the NWS reported that the snow flakes fell on twin Peaks between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., and never stayed long. The last time snow covered mountain peaks at a height of 281 m in 2011, but, alas, not February 5. According to Carolyn Walbrun, meteorologist from the NWS office in Monterey, snow in the mountains was not. The air was very cold, but she was sure that twin Peaks not covered with ice. Walbrun, adds that the snow probably melted away as soon as fell to the ground. Meteorologist says man, reported precipitation on twin Peaks, is a constant observer of the weather for the NWS and working on the mountain.
Walbrun also said that a separate storm flows move through the Bay area of San Francisco, so maybe the continuation of snowfall and heavy rain in addition. But the chances rapidly decrease as the storm moves South to other areas.
As of 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5, the temperature at the twin Peaks was about 2 degrees.
Mountain peaks of the Bay and the hills of San Francisco at the height of up to 305 meters saw more snow in many areas, such as the hills of the North Bay and Oakland, and Santa Cruz. There were reports of snowfall at elevations up to 122 m in the Northern Bay, although there is snow also almost immediately began to melt.
It doesn’t happen often, but when it snows in the Bay Area, it sure makes for some spectacular views. These scenes come from the North Bay.
