Termo (also, Snowstorm and Armstrong)[3] is a ghost town in Lassen County, California.[1] It was located on the now abandoned Southern Pacific Railroad line 32 miles (51 km) north-northeast of Susanville,[3] at an elevation of 5305 feet (1617 m).[1] This town straddles U.S. Highway 395 north of Ravendale.
It was the original 1900 terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway, before the line was extended north.[3] A post office opened in 1908, closed in 1914, and re-opened in 1915.[3]
