A strong low pressure system moved
slowly through Southern California,
producing very heavy snow. About a foot
of snow fell in the higher elevations of
Joshua Tree NP. Snow was also reported
in many lower desert areas. Some roads
were either closed or traffic was
restricted.

16 1600PST
A cold low pressure system dropped
southward into northern California
bringing 2 to 3 feet of snow
accumulation to a number of mountain
locations. Snowfall amounts of 4 to
nearly 5 feet were recorded at some of
the higher elevation ski resorts in the
northern Sierra Nevada Mountains. The
very cold airmass allowed for relatively
low snow levels. Snow amounts of more
than a foot fell at elevations as low as
3000 feet while amounts of 3 to 4 inches
fell in the foothills. Gusty winds
combined with the snow to cause poor
visibility at times. Numerous car
accidents were reported in slippery
conditions and downed trees caused power
outages to 11,000 customers in the
northern Sierra Nevada Mountain
communities.

A winter storm which came in two waves
dropped heavy snow over the mountains of
interior northern California on the 24th
and 25th. The northern Sierra Nevada
Mountains received 1 to 3 feet of snow
above 6000 feet, with amounts of more
than 5 feet reported at Lassen National
Park. Wind gusts exceeding 60 mph were
recorded over higher mountain peaks. The
strong wind coupled with falling snow
brought limited visibilities over the
higher mountains. Holiday travel was
significantly curtailed with many roads
closed for a period of time, including
Interstate 80.

December began with the central
California interior under an upper-level
high-pressure ridge. This ridge brought
a stable airmass to the region, and
strengthened the inversion over the San
Joaquin Valley. As a result, areas of
low clouds and overnight and morning
dense fog were a daily occurrence during
the first few days of the month.
Visibilities near zero occurred in many
parts of the San Joaquin Valley. Drizzle
occurred during the morning of December
2nd, and enough moisture condensed out
of the lowest levels of the airmass for
a respite from widespread dense fog on
the 3rd and 4th, although patchy dense
fog did occur. Rather than widespread
dense fog, a layer of low altitude
stratus formed and persisted over the
San Joaquin Valley. More widespread
dense fog returned to the central and
southern San Joaquin Valley on the 5th
and 6th.

Behind a departing low, an upper-level
ridge over the eastern Pacific built
into California, bringing more stratus
and patchy dense fog during the morning
of December 8th. A weak upper-level
disturbance moved over the central
California interior, bringing light rain
to the central and southern San Joaquin
Valley; a few hundredths of an inch fell
at Fresno. High pressure rebuilt over
the central California interior,
bringing more dense fog to the central
and southern San Joaquin Valley. The
worst dense fog conditions were
prevalent during much of the overnight
and morning hours on December 9, 10, 11,
and 12, when visibilities were lowered
to near zero in some areas due to very
dense fog.

The weather pattern changed on December
12th, as a series of upper-level troughs
began moving through the central
California interior. These troughs
brought several days of precipitation to
the region, as well as a push of
unseasonably cold air. The first storm
brought up to an inch of rain to the
central and southern San Joaquin Valley,
and heavy snow to the Southern Sierra
Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains. Wofford
Heights, near the southern end of the
Sierra Nevada received a foot of new
snow on December 15th, as did Camp
Nelson, further north in Tulare County.
1648 PST: Ponderosa Basin 18 inches of
snow so far. Locations in the higher
terrain saw very high snowfall totals
with this storm. Between 2 to 4 feet of
snow fell at locations such as Tenaya
Lake, Poison Ridge, Lower Kibbie Ridge,
Pascoes, Wet Meadows, and Casa Vieja
Meadows. Despite the low snow levels,
little snow fell in the Sierra Nevada
foothills. This storm also brought
strong winds to the Kern Mountains and
the Deserts with peak wind gusts
reported between 50 to 55 mph.

Another major winter storm reached the
central California Interior during the
afternoon of December 16th. This storm
dropped south along the coast, and as a
result had a stronger impact on the Kern
County mountains and desert than on the
Sierra Nevada north of Kings Canyon. In
the Kern desert, California City had 6
inches of new snow, and Rosamond
received 2 inches. In the Kern County
mountains, a foot of snow fell at Alpine
Mountain. Rain that developed over San
Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties during
the afternoon of the 16th moved into the
west side of the San Joaquin Valley, and
actually produced light snowfall at
Harris Ranch.
As the storm crossed southern California
and into Arizona, skies cleared over the
central California interior. In the
central and southern San Joaquin Valley,
temperatures fell into the mid 20s
during the morning of December 18th. The
lowest temperatures were recorded in
Merced and western Fresno Counties,
where durations below 28 degrees were as
much as 5 hours.

Another winter storm arrived in Central
California on the 21st, bringing another
round of rain and mountain snow to the
region. SNOTEL observations in the
Southern Sierra Nevada indicated that
between one and two feet of snow fell
over the higher elevations on the 21st
and 22nd. Another storm reached
California on Christmas Eve, but there
was little (if any) break between the
instability showers behind the exiting
storm and the arrival of the new system.
Snow levels fell below 3000 feet with
this storm, with snow falling at
Kernville. Gusty winds moved through the
region on Christmas Day, with gusts to
around 40 mph hitting Hanford around
midday. Winds across the valley caused
isolated reports of downed powerlines
and small trees with peak wind gusts
near 50 mph with the cold front.
After this system passed, widespread
dense fog did not return for several
days. This lack of sky cover, combined
with light winds, allowed for good
radiational cooling. This resulted in
three days of freezing temperatures in
the central and southern San Joaquin
Valley, although widespread critical
temperatures were not reported.
Strong winds also occurred with this
storm across the Kern deserts with gusts
to near 50 mph common, especially near
and below canyons and passes.

After the last major winter storm of
December finally passed to the east of
central California, widespread dense fog
did not return for several days. This
lack of sky cover, combined with light
winds, allowed for good radiational
cooling. This resulted in three days of
sub-freezing temperatures in the central
and southern San Joaquin Valley,
although widespread critical
temperatures were not reported.
High pressure returned to the region by
the 30th, and widespread fog returned
with patchy dense fog over the central
and southern San Joaquin Valley just
after sunset during that evening. The
fog remained through the afternoon hours
of the 31st. The dense fog caused
visibilities to fall to between one-half
to one-quarter miles at times across
many sections of the San Joaquin Valley.
Cloud ceilings began to rise, and
visibility began to improve over the
central and south valley on New Year's
Eve, just before the start of the New
Year.

Significant flooding in the Tijuana
River Valley resulted in the deaths of a
Tijuana man and numerous ranch and farm
animals. At least 21 people had to be
rescued, including 6 by helicopter.
Three men were taken to a hospital and
treated for hypothermia. An estimated 70
horses were also rescued. Three horses
drowned before they could be rescued and
another horse was later euthanized due
to a leg injury. Fifteen goats and an
unknown number of dogs also died in the
flood. One farmer lost $600,000 dollars
worth of his crop while another lost
$10,000 dollars worth of watermelons.
The one human death occurred outside the
forecast area in Tijuana, Mexico. The
flash flood occurred when both the
Tijuana River and a nearby flood control
channel became dammed with sediment,
trash, and other debris.
A pair of winter storms associated with
a vigorous, cold upper-low brought
periods of high winds, heavy rain, and
snow to the region from late on the 13th
through the 17th. The first storm
brought rain to the power elevations and
gusty winds and very heavy snow to the
mountains and deserts. Blizzard
conditions forced the closure of
mountain highways while heavy rain
caused a debris flow in the Santiago
Burn Area. Snowfall accumulations from
this first storm measured 31 inches at
Big Bear Lake, 30 inches at Running
Springs, and 24 inches at Forest Falls.
The second storm on the 17th was notable
for its significant rains in the low
deserts and heavy snowfall in the
mountains and high deserts. Heavy rain
caused significant flooding in the
Tijauna River valley. Surface offshore
pressure gradients and mid-level
easterly flow brought dry air into the
region, resulting in widespread
evaporative cooling and snow levels down
to the desert floor. The winter storm
dumped 20 inches of snow in Pinon Hills,
18 inches of snow in Hesperia, Lucerne
Valley, Palomar Mountain, and Julian, 16
inches of snow in Idyllwild, 14 inches
in Victorville, and even 4 inches in
Shelter Valley. Local snowfall amounts
in excess of 2 feet occurred in the San
Bernardino Mountains. Total snowfall
accumulations at Big Bear Lake for the 5
day period ending on the 17th was an
impressive 54 inches.

and one to two and one-half inches in
the coastal slopes. No significant
snowfall was reported. High winds downed
trees and power lines in Encinitas, Palm
