Site description and known history: Traditional Stevenson Screen with wooden legs. Mercury max/min thermometers. Site in operation over 100 years, at present location since 1951, possibly longer.
Curator notes: curator says they just received 100 year service award from NWS Sacramento

Site surveyor notes: Well placed site except for small orange tree about 18-20 feet NE of shelter which will grow and possibly influence shelter.

Closest bias is concrete water flume about 4 feet wide about 10 feet W of shelter and is very old concrete structure, curator says possibly turn of century. Station shelter has been repainted with semi-gloss latex paint several times. Note pictures of paint chips. Other bias is to NW, heavy equipment lot and building about 200 feet away.

Shelter and instruments in good condition, shelter clean and functional.
