I'd guess Redding. Right or wrong?

Probably but I don't think it actually snows every single year there. The average is so low there are probably years they don't see any.

It also might be one of the lowest elevations that averages annual snowfall in CA.

Tahoe isn't a city. It's a shortened name for the entire region that surrounds Lake Tahoe. If you're talking about the city of South Lake Tahoe, it only has about 22k permanent residents, so not sure that would qualify.

Truckee, gets snow every year, but not sure if it qualifies as large at 16,000 population. Near the Nevada border.

It would have to be one of the cities in the Sierras, whichever that would be.

Redding averages 1" of snow annually (I have family there). There is a reason that low population correlates heavy snowfall, especially in a state like CA that has so many areas with mild climate. With population 12,424 I would suggest that Lake Arrowhead is about as big a city as it gets with real snow, 30" annually. Auburn is a little bigger but like Redding, only averages 1".

South Lake Tahoe has 22k population and they get plenty of snow.

Can't seem to come up with anything bigger than that, however.

Wikipedia say 5.5" per year at the airport. Not a lot but with an average like that I would think they get snowfall most years.

Redding may get something called snow most but not all years, and many of those years it doesn't stick.

Consider Shasta Lake City which is 2 miles further north and a 300' higher in elevation.

But once you include mountain towns rather than cities, your better bets are in the Sierra Nevada mountains further south.
