Re: [californiadisasters] Blizzard of Awesome: The San Francisco Snowfall of 1976

I was there for that snowfall and remember it well! I'm dating myself, but my friends and I ditched our high classes in San Jose that day (they kept the schools open and actually expected kids to attend :p ) and hiked all the way to Vasona Lake in the snow. We slide down hills there on cardboard sleds (until them became too soggy to use and fell apart), then hiked home.

 

The school had threatened students with detention if we skipped school...but only 1/3 of the kids showed up to school and they couldn't put us all in detention (safety in numbers lol). We all got off with a "stern warning" not to do that again.

 

As it was not likely to snow again anytime soon, we agreed.

 

Good memories :)
