Very very very rarely. It does snow in California though. The Sierra Nevadas get quite a bit of snow. Northern California around Redding, Mt. Shasta, etc. get dumped on a ton! Also around Truckee and Lake Tahoe you'll find some good ski resorts.
It does not snow in San Francisco - when it does it is big big news - they are right at sea level so very rarely does it get to freezing.

However, it does snow in the higher eleveations which are more inland - around Mt. Shasta (Eureka) up to the Oregon border and down south around Big Bear.
yes along time ago
it does snow in california! in southern california, bear mountain, june mountain, mammoth mountain, mountain high, mt. baldy, snow summit and snow valley are some popular snow spots. in northern cali, alpine meadows, soda springs, sugar bowl, homewood and many others are some popular spots. it can pretty much snow anywhere in the right weather conditions.
Only once every 25 years or so, on average.

The last time it happened was March 10, 2006...so I'm guessing it won't snow again for another couple of decades.

The Sierra Nevada, Yosemite, and Shasta Mountain ranges of California get a ton of snow every year. There are several ski resorts up there (clustered around Lake Tahoe). It is a 3-4 hour drive from San Francisco to the mountains.
