January is usually the month that the largest snowfalls occur, but not always. Last year the month was a dud, but February and March made up for it. On Wednesday, January 11, 1899 Susanville had received thirty-three inches of snowfall since the first of the month. Nothing too remarkable, until a look back at the previous winter that was more than the entire snowfall for that winter. So we will have to just wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us.
