Snow in LA? Are You Kidding Me?
Los Angeles. The land of sunshine, palm trees, and people who wear sunglasses indoors. It's the place where winter means reaching for a lighter jacket. So, when you hear the words "snow in LA," your brain probably does a triple take, like you just saw a squirrel wearing a tutu.
A Blizzard in Beverly Hills?
Let's get one thing straight: seeing snow in downtown LA is about as likely as seeing Brad Pitt doing your grocery shopping. It's happened a few times in history, but those were like cosmic anomalies, akin to finding a four-leaf clover on the moon.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Now, don't get me wrong, the surrounding mountains can get a pretty decent coat of white stuff. Big Bear, for example, is a popular winter getaway for Angelinos who want to experience something colder than a cucumber. But the city itself? Nah, it's more likely to rain glitter than snow.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.

Unless you live in the San Fernando Valley and have a particularly cold grudge against global warming, the answer is a big, fat "nope." Building a snowman in LA is like trying to surf in the Sahara Desert. It's technically possible, but it's not going to be a regular occurrence.
