Everyone is talking about it – will we see snow in the city of San Francisco this weekend? The Chronicle has a great article on the history of SF snowfall, which includes great old photos like the one above.
The city has seen snow 5 times in the last 100 years – in December 1882, on Feb. 5, 1887, Feb. 28, 1951, Jan. 21, 1962, and Feb. 6, 1976.
According to the wunderground.com forecast, there’s a chance of snow beginning in the wee hours of Saturday and until about 10am. Here’s hoping I don’t sleep through it!
If it does happen and you capture some good photos, use the contact us form to let us know. We’ll post them here on the blog.
Stay warm!
