<br/><br/> "The vision most Americans have of California's weather is of an endless summer paradise of golden sunshine, gentle breezes, and year-round moderate temperatures....But away from the coast, there is another side to California's weather. In the Sierra Nevada--a mountain range in the eastern part of the state--winter brings intense storms that produce astounding amounts of snow." (WEATHERWISE) This article relates the weather history of Donner Pass, California, where the infamous Donner Party was snowbound in 1847.
