Won’t someone think of the children?
(NBC San Diego) Schools in Julian and the Mountain Empire districts have canceled classes and many in San Diego are likely considering a “snow day” of their own.
Let’s expand on this beyond the humor based on the “Children won’t know what snow looks like” meme.
“I recommend everyone come out here and enjoy the snow. It’s something different you do not get in San Diego,†said Priscilla Tamayo of Spring Valley.
She’s kinda right.
Snow has been recorded falling on San Diego communities only five times in over 125 years of record-keeping. Snow flurries were last seen in San Diego on February 15, 2008 around 1,700 to 1,800 feet (520 to 550 m), and the last measurable snowfall to hit various neighborhoods and suburbs around the city fell on December 13, 1967. In winter, light snow is common in mountainous regions of east San Diego County above 3,000–4,000 feet (910–1,200 m).
Most of the current snow is higher up, but still lower than the 3k-4k feet elevation.
