Blizzard in La La Land? You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
Let's get one thing straight: Los Angeles is not exactly known for its winter wonderland vibes. It's more of a "winter is coming...but it's probably gonna be 70 degrees" kind of place. So, the idea of a blizzard in LA is about as likely as seeing a Kardashian without makeup (okay, maybe not that unlikely, but you get the point).
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
But hey, stranger things have happened. In 1989, a freak snowstorm actually blanketed parts of LA, including the hills of Malibu. Imagine that: surfers trading their boards for snowboards. It was like a scene out of a bad Hollywood movie, except it was real life.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
So, Can I Build a Snowman in Beverly Hills?
Short answer: probably not. While that 1989 storm was a memorable outlier, the reality is that LA's climate just doesn't lend itself to snow. The mountains surrounding the city can get snow, though, and sometimes it even melts enough to make its way down to lower elevations. But a full-blown blizzard? Nah, that's more of a dream than a reality.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
