First Snow in San Francisco in 35 Years
by The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Hilly areas of San Francisco got a rare light dusting of snow, the National Weather Service said Saturday.
Snow fell briefly late Friday and early Saturday on the city's Twin Peaks neighborhood and some other areas with higher elevations, meteorologist Mark Strobin said.
"A little bit up in the hills," Strobin told The Associated Press. "It snowed down to about 400 feet."
But there was only rain downtown and in other other areas of the near sea level city, and the snow that did fall disappeared rapidly.
The city last saw snow on the ground in 1976, when an inch fell.
