Highest total for any month since records began. (For ANY month, not just February.)
A record-breaking 38.1 inches (97 cm) of snow fell during February at Lick Observatory atop Mount Hamilton (4,200-feet elevation).
This was the greatest monthly snowfall total on the San Jose mountain since records began there in 1948, according to the National Weather Service.
Mount Hamilton stands about 25 miles due east of San Jose, California.
February 2019 was a wet and cool month – ideal conditions for lots of snow on #BayArea peaks. The highest peak, Mount Hamilton, set a monthly snowfall record. #CAwx #CAsnow pic.twitter.com/19ULcq3glv
