There were several topics in the local news for March 1924. One was a constant raiding of bootleg joints during prohibition. Then, Lassen County issued a quarantine, not for humans, but livestock due to an outbreak of Hoof and Mouth disease in other parts of the State.
It was on March 24, 1924 that a snowstorm dumped 18 inches of snow in Susanville and a similar amount in Westwood. It melted rapidly. Such storms are not uncommon. What made this event remarkable, was it was the only storm for the winter of 1923-24, one of the driest since Anglo settlement.
Note: I am not sure what Big Valley received, because a portion of those archives are off site and currently not easy for me to access.
