While fall in this country can experience some nicest weather of the year, there are instances, well it is not so pleasant. The first snow of the 1899-1900 season occurred on the night of October 10. The amounts varied, Susanville had two inches, while Willow Creek Valley, just a trace and Milford with four inches of snow. On Friday, October 13, it snowed all day and into the night and in its aftermath Susanville was blanketed with fifteen inches of very heavy, wet snow. On a bright note, at least for the wood cutters, the cold snowy weather kept them busy filling orders.
