California: The Golden State or the Snowy State?
You’d think California is all sunshine and surf, right? Palm trees, bikinis, and avocado toast. Well, think again, sunshine! While we’re not exactly building igloos in Hollywood, there are parts of this Golden State that get a pretty decent coating of the white stuff.

| Where Did It Snow In California |
Where’s the Snow at?
Let's talk about the obvious: the mountains. The Sierra Nevada, for instance, is no stranger to snow. It’s like the California Alps, but with better weather (most of the time). Places like Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Mountain, and Big Bear Lake transform into winter wonderlands when the mercury drops. You can go skiing, snowboarding, or just build a really impressive snowman. Just don’t tell the palm trees.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
But wait, there’s more! Even Southern California, the land of eternal summer, can get a surprise snowfall. Okay, it’s rare, but it does happen. Imagine waking up to a dusting of snow on your palm tree. That’s a California Christmas card moment, right there!
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.

Snow in the City?
Now, before you start dreaming of sledding down Hollywood Boulevard, let’s be realistic. Snow in LA is about as common as seeing a Kardashian without makeup. But hey, stranger things have happened. Remember that time it snowed in Malibu? Yeah, neither do we, but it did!
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
So, while you’re more likely to find snow on a mountaintop than in your backyard, it’s still a fun fact to drop at your next dinner party. And who knows, maybe next year you’ll be building a snowman in your own driveway. Or at least dreaming about it while you’re wearing shorts.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
