Is it true that it never lightings in San Francisco? If this isn't true when was the last time it has?

Though Thunderstorms seem to be quite rare, we had quite a few spectacular lightnings west of Ocean Beach just last Wednesday...

Snow in San Francisco? Yes, indeed!

Heather,
I had the exciting experience of being in the Tenderloin last week when there was lightning, thunder, and even hail! This must be the same storm Wolfgang mentioned, though I remember this to be last Thursday -- I was Location Scouting for a new TV pilot.
Also, in December 1998, I was working on The Bachelor when it actually SNOWED in the Financial District! The snow melted quickly upon hitting the ground, but there was quite a layering of it up on Mt. Tamalpais, Mt. Diablo, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Here's an article about it from the San Francisco Chronicle.
