O'NEIL'S, Calfi. (KFSN) -- Families used the holiday Monday to play in some of the snow left over by the weekend storm.
Communities in the lower elevations received a couple of inches of fresh powder.
The Rodriguez family of Fresno decided to take advantage of the winter weather with a day trip to Oakhurst.
"We don't see snow a lot, so it's kind of like a wonderful experience to come out and see the snow," said Jacqueline Rodriguez.
The weekend dusting of snow reached as low as the 1,000-foot level - something experts say we haven't seen in almost six years
The last time the area has seen snow at a 1000 feet or below was in December of 2013. Other years include March of 2006 and the El Niño year of 1998.
The recent cold snap was a welcome sight for winemakers.
Officials with Fasi Estate Winery in Madera county expect the frigid temperatures to have a positive effect on future blends.
"The snow just helps the vine stronger because the vine lasts a really long time and so the more different kind of weather it can withhold makes it longer more durable and better at producing fruit," said Kayla Belcher.
