It Never Rains In Southern California, But It Does Snow Occasionally
An unusual storm hit SoCal this week. Usually rain is carried in from the Pacific. This time the jet stream dropped way down and brought a lot of cold rain with it. The snow level was about 2500 feet, low enough to dust the San Gabriels. When the storm cleared out, the views were spectacular. See this photo looking northeast towards downtown and this one looking north to the Hollywood sign and beyond by photographer Jonathan Alcorn. It appears he was shooting from somewhere near Ladera Heights.
