Video Proof of Snow in San Carlos – 1976

December 16, 2011

Snow in San Carlos?
Believe it or not, it happened.  February 5, 1976. After what can only be described as a truly exhaustive search, I finally uncovered the 8mm film from storage and was able to save some of the footage.  The footage isn’t exactly high-definition, but you will see that San Carlos received more than a brief dusting.  The footage is shot at 1027 Alameda de Las Pulgas, very close to the intersection of Brittan Avenue and Alameda. The one-year-old in the very hip 70’s pants in the video who is trying to steer clear of the crazed family dog, is yours truly.
A very happy holiday season from my family to yours.
Best,
Bob Bredel

Thanks, Brad. It very well may have been. “Alfie” spent the next few years knocking me over every chance he got.

I remember it well – I was 15 and a student at San Carlos High School. What a beautiful site to wake up to that day. My folks were from New York and got a kick out of the excited reactions from the San Carlos residents!

Does anyone remember when it snowed on a Sunday in San Carlos during the late 1950s or early 1960s?

Bravo, Bob!
Now surely everyone remembers the lesser but still shocking snow we had about 5 years ago? I came home from a trip at night and saw snow on the bottom of lots of cars’ windshields and thought “gee, did all these folks just come home from Tahoe?”. I was able to gather a few snowballs from my front yard.

Thanks Bob. This is a real treat! I’ll bet the San Carlos Museum would love a copy for the archives!!

In 1963 it snowed -I made a snowman with my dad. In 1976 I was a junior at San Carlos High and it snowed again. The swimming pool at Brittan Heights was not yet completed so Jeff Krier, Kerry Bruton, Matt Von Wronski, Beth Ichelson and I went ice skating on the sheets of ice that had formed on the water that was in the hole right by the recreation center that is now the swimming pool. There was snow on the ice! We had snowball fights while we were ice skating. It was wild! The snow did not melt off until late afternoon. Then we all went to the Canyon Inn for lunch. We were muddy and the owner still let us in and served us.
