She said she’d only seen this kind of snow once before, about 22 years ago. She’s been in Ferndale for 32 years.The fridge storm rolling through the state plunged snow levels across Northern California as it moved south. Snow fell in the peaks of Bay Area mountains and caused white-out conditions around Lake Tahoe.“We had snow on the ground at sea level this morning, around less than half an inch,” said Kaito Figeira, 31, an Arcata resident.
Figeira’s home, which is at an elevation of around 260 feet and about four miles from the coast, got closer to an inch of snow. “I think most people have been excited about it, since this really is a rare occurrence for us on the coast,” said Figeira, who has lived in Arcata since 2019. “This is a first for me as a Humboldt County resident.”“I certainly plan to stay inside next to a warm fireplace this evening,” she said.
