A rare sight—snow in the Bay Area. It’s been more than 30 years since we’ve seen this much snow here. Local images include the landmark Summit Building atop Mt. Diablo. The Summit Building and Museum was constructed in the late 1930s by the California Conservation Corps. The sandstone for the building was quarried from Rock City and remnants of ancient fossils can be found on the building.

At 3,849 feet, Mount Diablo has spectacular (unblocked) views of the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallon Islands, Mount Hamilton, Mount Loma Prieta (in the Santa Cruz Mountains), Mount Saint Helena, Mount Lassen (in the Cascades), San Joaquin & Sacramento Rivers forming the Delta waterways, and the Sierra Nevadas.
