Snow in Sacramento!

Whoopee! Monday morning Sacramento awoke to a winter wonderland - a fine dusting of Spreckel's sugar across the landscape. A rarity, this unsual phenomenon only happens every once in a while - the last time back in 2002. Before that chilly event, the last reported trace of snow in Sacramento was registered on February 27, 1996 - the last official accumulation of snow on February 5, 1976, when two inches of snow fell over the capital city. Topping it all was the all-time record on January 4 and 5, 1888 when the city saw four inches of snowfall.
