Interesting question, for real.
I also hope someone will send us some picture in case.
L.A. covered with snow!? :eek2:

I found this, but I don't think it's too accurate. It doesn't seem too professional.

and this short story with a title that pretty much answers the question of this thread.

I would love for a miracle to occur.... you know there is a strong chance that we are going to be in the middle of a major storm for New Year's Eve... so imagine.... snow in New Year's Eve!!!!! Damn that would be great. I'm sure snow has fallen at some random date in the LA metropolitan area.... now I have no clue when, and it probably was like less than 3" like two hundred years ago..... but I swear if it snows this December I'm going to take it as a sign for a lot of stuff I have in my head for next year. It sucks that it doesn't snow in Los Angeles. I've never seen snow fallen from the sky. I need that.
 
There was a tornado warning for South LA yesterday. And I think a tornado touched down in Inglewood. It was on the news this morning anyway.

It snowed in Compton last year. But nothing extreme or anything. I remember being in Moreno Valley when it snowed..I think it was in 2001 or so. That was cool. Snow everywhere. It's a pretty thing to see a palm tree covered in snow.
 
Imagine the Interstates if it started to flurry a bit! Cars would be upisde down, people would hanging off of street lamps.. It would be like Day After Tomorrow.

If you're talking about those few blocks that were covered, that was hail not snow. It hailed almost everywhere that day, but for some reason a few blocks in Compton got dumped on. On TV the residents were calling it snow, but the news people said hail.

That almanac seems pretty consistent with what I had read from other sources.

Snowed down in Murrieta and all along the lower hills in Temescal Valley a month or so ago but that is far from LA.
Murrieta/Winchester/Temecula is roughly 80 miles from Downtown [I would know ;) the drive bites] :)

This was taken on Nov. 22nd in Winchester ...

...... this is SUPER rare. [definitely hasn't happened in the last 15 years]
