California Dreaming of Snowflakes?
Cue dramatic music

California: The Golden State or the Snowy State?
I’ve seen more sunshine on a cloudy day than snow in California, and that's saying something. But here we are, with folks in LA trading their sunglasses for snow goggles. It's like a scene from a really bad rom-com where the characters suddenly find themselves in a winter wonderland.
How is this even possible? Well, it's a complex mix of weather patterns, climate change, and Mother Nature having a laugh at our expense. Apparently, a rare atmospheric river combined with cold air from the north created the perfect snowstorm recipe. Who knew California was such a good chef?
