Snow in LA? Are You Kidding Me?
So, you woke up one morning in the City of Angels to find your palm trees looking like they'd had a frosty makeover? Welcome to the exclusive club of "people who've seen snow in LA". Trust me, you're in rare company.
The Big Chill: How Did This Happen?
Now, you're probably wondering, "How the heck did snow end up in my backyard, where bikinis and sunglasses are the norm?" Well, let's break it down.
- Blame the Mountains: LA is surrounded by mountains. And these mountains, being the drama queens they are, sometimes decide to throw a snow party. When the weather conditions are just right (which, let's be honest, is rarely), the snow can make its way down from the mountains into lower elevations.
- A Perfect Storm: It takes a perfect storm (literally) to make snow happen in LA. You need freezing temperatures, a lot of moisture in the air, and a strong storm system. It's like trying to get all the Kardashians in one room and expecting them to agree on something - rare but possible.
So, What Do You Do With Snow in LA?
- Panic: This is a completely understandable first reaction.
- Take a Selfie: Because, duh, social media gold.
- Build a Snowman (or a Cactus Man): Get creative!
- Have a Snowball Fight: Just be careful not to hit a palm tree.
- Order a Margarita: Because, hey, why not?
