| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong weather system arrived on the 15th, which brought colder air to the region. Gusty winds���to around 50mph���continued over the mountains and deserts, and gusts even developed over parts of the San Joaquin Valley (where gusts to 37 mph were reported). The main impact of the trough was precipitation, as measurable snow fell as low as 3500 feet on the Grapevine, and thunderstorms developed over the west side of the San Joaquin Valley during the afternoon of the 15th. One thunderstorm, near Mendota, reached severe levels and produced ��-inch hail and damaging winds. Other thunderstorms generated hail that ranged from pea-size to ��-inch in diameter. These storms extended south along the Interstate 5 corridor to near Taft, and as far east as Visalia and Arvin (where the ��-inch hail fell and knocked out power to part of the town when a transformer insulator hub was shattered). A thunderstorm near Maricopa during the late afternoon approached severe criteria, prompting the second Severe Thunderstorm Warning of the day, but the storm weakened before becoming severe.||Up to 4 inches of snow fell on the Frazier Park area, with 4-6 inches falling above 6500 feet in the western Tehachapi Mountains. In the Southern Sierra Nevada, snow amounts ranged from 5 inches at Ponderosa to one-inch accumulations at Lodgepole and Tuolumne Meadows. Other snow reports included 1.5 inches at Bear Valley Springs and Hume Lake, and 2 inches at Grant Grove.||A cold, dry airmass moved into the central California interior with the trough. Several Valley sites reached freezing the morning of the 16th and the 17th, causing frost to form in a few areas. |
