Ski Livermore!!
Yes, it does snow here once in a while!
More common is the heavy rain in the bottom pictures.

Weather data back through 1930 shows appreciable snow only once:  January 24, 1949, when it snowed 3.0 inches.
The first two photos were originally listed as "about 1950".  The weather data narrows it to 1/24/1949.

Arroyo Rd, looking south.  This is most likely January 24, 1949, when 3 inches of snow fell in Livermore.
