The last time San Francisco was hit with far more impressive snow was exactly 43 years ago — Feb. 5, 1976 — when 5 inches of snow fell on San Francisco’s Twin Peaks and even an inch fell downtown, according to meteorologist Jan Null. Before that, on Feb. 5, 1887, 7 inches of snow fell on Twin Peaks. “Historically, February 5th is the snowiest day of the year in San Francisco and the Bay Area,” Null said in a blog post.
