Has it ever snowed in walnut creek ca?

Answer 1

It very rarely snows in the flat area of Berkeley.

The hills can get some snow, averaging once every 5-10 years. The snow is usually gone later in the day it snows, but in rare cases it will stay a few days.

In most cases, there is only enough snow for people to go out and throw snowball, build snowmen, etc. In the rarer events, some people will ride sleds or cross-country skis, although this is usually more for the uniqueness of being able to say "I skied in Berkeley" rather than the existence of good ski/sled hills.

On the higher hills in the bay area, snow is more frequent, and doesn't melt as quickly.

Anecdote: "However, in December 1975, as I walked home from an organic chemistry final at UCB, it was snowing on College Avenue. It didn't melt for a few hours, and the nearby hills got several inches of snow which lasted for several days. In the same storm, the Santa Cruz mountains got well over 1 foot of snow."
