Hi Terry!! When we moved here in 1991 (or 1992) we had a snow fall now referred to by us locals as the March Miracle. We have pictures of the snow up to our 8 foot deck, cars buried and trenches dug so we could get in and out of our homes. Do you recall this event or know how it may stack up against the others that you have cited? I have enjoyed your postings, please keep them coming!!! :D

Yes, I do remember that storm. I wished that I could list all the snow falls. This was was a big one that fell into the category of a four year snow pattern. March 1991 reading showed a total of 5.7 inches. 1 inch of rain equals approximately 10 - 12 inches of snow. ...(so there's you over 6ft of snow.) The reason why I used those two other examples of snow storms were because one of my sources enjoyed sharing them and there was a very detailed account of the big one in a 1961 issue of the Wrightwood Mountaineer. . Like you, I can remember several storms that brought much snow. Living at the mountain stables (near old Holiday Hill) in the middle sixties , I well remembered digging through several feet of snow to feed stock and wonder if the  horses were going to simply walk over the drifts and take off. Heavy rains in 1968 forced our stable business to close for good. Amazingly enough...dry spells between storms, be it rain or snow, stick to an interesting pattern.
