2004: Early season storm system brings over an inch of rain to parts of the San Joaquin Valley and over a foot of snow to the Sierra as low as 6,000 feet.
Fresno recorded 1.05" of rain, setting a daily precipitation record.
At Lodgepole, 16" of snow fell, the greatest on record for a single storm during the month of October.

This is the also the second costliest fire in U.S. History (the costliest fire was the Oakland Fire of 1991).
