In an unexpected turn of weather events, residents of Santa Clara County woke up to a picturesque scene as snowfall graced the summit of Mt. Hamilton this morning. This unusual occurrence comes ahead of Wednesday’s anticipated level 1 storm, bringing the possibility of snow on the Bay Area’s highest peaks.
The National Weather Service predicts downpours to sweep through the region from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow, accompanied by a potential isolated thunderstorm. However, the real excitement lies in the prospect of snow dusting elevated peaks, including the iconic Mt. Hamilton.
As the Bay Area embraces this uncommon weather phenomenon, meteorologists emphasize that the snowfall is likely to be confined to the highest elevations, providing a scenic contrast to the usual winter rainfall experienced in the region.
Mt. Hamilton, known for its Lick Observatory and breathtaking views of the Bay Area, rarely witnesses snowfall, making today’s snowy spectacle a rare treat for locals. Residents and visitors are encouraged to take precautions while driving in the area, as icy conditions may prevail at higher altitudes.
