not very high. it seldom gets cold enough as the climate is moderated by the ocean/bay. if you have lived in the city a while, you'll know this. it has been super cold this week though, so tonight anything is possible, but i'd bet on snow before ice storms, they just don't happen in the bay area/California.

Well, I think the chances of an ice "strom" in san francisco is 1 in a million, practically nil. Don't worry.
However, were the planet to be rocked drastically out of kilter by simultaneous massive detonations of nuclear bombs, earthquakes, continental shifts, etc, resulting in California's finding itself the new North Pole, then the chances will be very real.
Of course, nobody will be around to worry much about the "strom".

It's possible. SF has had over an inch of snow 6 times in the past 150 years. The most snow measured in the city was 3.7 inches. They haven't had any measurable snow storms since the 1930s.

in the immediate future highly unlikely unless something changes the currents in the pacific ocean and arctic currents started to flow south...this will eventually happen probably not in the next 1000 years but it will happen
