[californiadisasters] On This Date In CA Weather History (November 8)

1961: The morning low temperature at Reno, NV, was 14°.

1922: 11" of snow fell at both Tahoe City and Sierraville.

1918: Bakersfield reached 95° for a high, setting a record for the month of November.
This record was tied on November 3, 1921.

1914: In Bagdad, this was the final day of an incredible dry spell of 767 days that started on 10/3/1912 (Southern Pacific RR employees kept this debated record).

1914: Santa Barbara reached 98° establishing an all-time high for November.

1910: The main part of Harrison Gulch (Shasta County) was in ashes.
A withering blast of flame spread through the business part of town Sunday evening, taking all before it as tinder until stopped by the dynamiting of the Morrissey house, where the brave citizen firemen made a last stubborn stand that resulted in mastery over the flames.
