S. California Gets Up to 3 Feet of Snow
| quote: |
An unusual type of storm nicknamed an "insider slider" blanketed Southern California mountains with up to 3 feet of snow and even coated desert areas with white.
(...)
The storm developed in British Columbia and swept into Nevada before reaching California. It was called an inside slider because of its rare track into Southern California from the northeast instead of the typical route off the Pacific Ocean.
"This happens about once every 10 years, and when it does, it's bad," said Ivory Small, chief science officer for the National Weather Service in San Diego. |
