Snow
Snow has been recorded falling on San Diego communities only five times in over 125 years of record-keeping. Snow flurries were last seen in San Diego on February 15, 2008 around 1,700 to 1,800 feet (520 to 550 m), and the last measurable snowfall to hit various neighborhoods and suburbs around the city fell on December 13, 1967. In winter, light snow is common in mountainous regions of east San Diego County above 3,000–4,000 feet (910–1,200 m).

Famous quotes containing the word snow:
“long long
The snow has possessed the mountains.”
—Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 1–2)
“When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
