It's not just the Sierra that got blanketed in snow over the Christmas weekend. Mount Diablo and Mount Hamilton received the white powdery stuff as well.
CLAYTON, Calif.Lower elevations received the white, powdery stuff as well. And the National Weather Services says some of these Bay Area peaks will get snow again on Monday morning as snow levels will drop to about 1,000 to 1,500 feet.
The snow on Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County south of Clayton on Sunday brought families out to see the not-so-common sight. One family walked around with umbrellas – the children tried to catch snowflakes on their tongues. The peak is 3,800 feet. Further south in Santa Clara County, Mount Hamilton received roughly six inches of snow by Sunday at the summit, which stands 4,200 feet. "We just came up on a feeling just to be up here to see if we could catch something," he said.
