Heavy Snow February 16, 1998 – February 17, 1998 · P Sw San Bernardino, California

The wider storm

A low pressure trough at the surface, and very cold air aloft, set the stage for heavy snow in the mountains. Snow was reported as low as 3500 feet. Eight to twelve inches of snow fell above 5500 feet, with six to eight inches as low as 4500 feet. The cold, unstable conditions triggered a waterspout which was visible off of Point Loma.
