During the years I lived in California, it was normal got Mammoth to have everyone ski on the 4th of July. I don’t know how much they had this year but similar depths were commonplace during the 15 years I lived in LA.

When I was living in LA and my sons were little we’d watch NHL playoffs sponsored by Labatts starting at 5 LA time. We also set up a hockey hall. A lot of replastering...lol.
NAVGEM used to be NOGAPS. The model is part of the US Navys Fleet Meteorology and Oceanography Centery. If I choose to look at it I get it here:

I also remember the 3/30/97 nape fest. I went for a 5 mile run in shorts and t. I had just started posting on the Internet and all of a sudden there’s talk of snow. The next morning heading out to work in rain in the 40s. By noon down near north station flakes are mixing in. Going home in heavy snow. 3-4/hour for many hours! An all timer for sure!
