Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2016


The Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2016 left well over a foot of snow in Oakland. Some reported 17 inches! A snow emergency was put in place by the Oakland City Council to help with the snow removal  on the snow routes as cars had to be removed from those streets to allow the city crew to make the emergency routes accessible. This storm will be etched in memory for years to come! All Photo Credit/Denise Gilliland, Editor and Chief, Kat Country Hub.
