1876 – Extreme Weather

Round Valley Reservoir, 1958.

Anyone who has spent any time in Northeastern California, knows that its weather can be finicky.  An interesting example of weather extremes was the year 1876. On March 25, 1876 there was eight feet of snow at Round Valley, just a short distance north of Susanville, yet that town was clear of snow. When July arrived, it turned hot, the highest temperature that month was 108 in Susanville.
