I saw these headlines from 1938 and it is very similar to what happened in California this month...

1938 had two snowstorms in November along with the fires in California...

Anyone have the date of the last 90 for the region? Or last 75 or even 70 degree dew point? Wondering what the shortest number of days between those numbers and first measurable snowfall is. 

We had a very short fall this year. Summer ended late with the 80 degree temperatures on October 11th. About 5 weeks of fall before winter began early with the record snowstorm on November 15th.

1938 hit 90 in mid October and had a 9" snowstorm on Nov. 24th...

That was possibly the worst snowstorm I’ve ever been in traffic wise

The Jan 87 storm took the cake for me....wall of snow, starting around 10 am after everyone was at work and school, then everyone getting out by 1pm and snarling the roads. Visibility was so bad I could not figure out where I was, and just followed the tail lights in front of me. People abandoned their cars on the highways to the extent the state police had them impounded. Since it came during a relatively snowless decade no one knew how to drive in the stuff anymore nor did anyone expect a near blizzard. It was a mess.

How much snow did you get in that one? I think that one was bigger further south?

Yeah, it was the massive 50/50 low which helped set up the CAD for our record snowstorm last week.

Thanks for that! I know they ran the big wave world tour in Nazare with that swell. Something you would find interesting Will Skudin of Long Beach is on the big wave world tour! Impressive for a NY guy!

The swell direction was just a little too westerly for Nazare to have one of their biggest days.
