I was talking to a lady that has lived here for 25 years and she told me this has only happened 2 or 3 times before.

<< <i>Did it snow in downtown Livermore? Those pictures all look like shots from the surrounding hills and/or the Altamont Pass.

Yes, those pictures were taken on the road going towards Del Valle. Usually when it snows on the hills it hits them up high (mount hamilton or mt. diablo) but never any hills IN Livermore. It dusted all the hills.
Here is a better view showing about where the snow levels were:
Here is a view from my bedroom window (that hill is maybe only 400-800 above sea level) and all the surrounding hills look the same:
Very unusual to see this much snow in the SF Bay Area, especially down close to sea level.
I got my car stuck in my driveway and had to shovel it out.
I ordered snow tires but they won't be here until Thursday.

(Or at least the last time I remember it was about 15 years ago...)
I wonder whether they required chains over Altamont? That would have caused some serious havoc.

Auburn is at about 1,000' in elevation (though I recall your place is higher in altitude). It rarely snows in Auburn and your pics show an amount of snow that is more likely seen at the 3000'+ elevation after a strong winter storm. I bet lots of folks in your neighorhood had trouble driving around town today.
Just rain all afternoon, pretty heavy at times, here in Vegas. But, it's 37.9 degrees in back yard
at the moment and still raining. Should have precipitation all night so, we'll see what it's like in
the A.M.

PS: knocked me off the internet for 9 hours, lousy rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of my neighbors didn't go or even attempt to go anywhere today as the total represents about 4 years worth of accumulation in a single night. I expected the typical 1/2 to 1 inch of accumulation and was shocked upon arising this morning!
My driveway is about an 1/8 of a twisting mile with about a forty foot elevation increase and with 9 inches of powdery sunshine grinding under your wheels, you quickly go
