The only snow I had ever observed was atop the Verdugo Hills in early 1979, when we had a minor hail storm. Perhaps they are wondering if this season's crop of oranges had been ruined.

Local history and also a peek at your family history. I too remember lots and lots of National Geographic magazines at my grandparents house dating all the way back to the early part of the century. Is your grandparent's house still standing today? My grandmother used to talk about going to city council meetings, and big stars like Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, and John Wayne would actually attend. But, also, this:Snow in LA is nothing to celebrate...it’s a warning to start serving the planet better Stephanie Baer is a reporter with BuzzFeed News and is based in Los Angeles. There were flakes in the air but nothing on the ground.
This in one of my earliest memories, I would have been three and a half years old.
There really was nothing like a big glass of orange juice from fruit picked right off the tree - the stuff that you buy at the grocery store is some kinda bug juice. I think that's my grandfather with the hat (to the left), but I have no idea who the other fellow could be. This is awesome. Wow...what a find. Thanks for sharing your personal memories and family photos with us, Major. On Jan. 10, 1949, in the middle of the worst housing shortage in Los Angeles history, more than half an inch of snow covered the Civic Center. Below is one of the headlines from the L.A. Times. See below for more about the house (since so many people asked). "Many Angelenos were surprised that Los Angeles could even see weather like this.It's snowing in Pasadena. The first storm began January 2 and continued through January 5, with heavy snow, strong winds and cold temperatures. My grandparents and my mom lived in Encino (which is part of the San Fernando Valley) at the time. Apparently twice, in January 1949 and a lesser amount in January 1950. When they moved there, it was "the sticks"; my grandpa liked it because they could have a large yard, and my mom even had a horse. I loved to explore all of the wondrous things; my mom's old toys, as well as her collection of rocks and minerals, fossils and seashells, and stacks and stacks of "National Geographic" magazines going back to the 1920's. "But, as @_leexxxiii_ pointed out, temperatures were still in the 50s across much of the Los Angeles basin, so how can it snow when the temperature is above-freezing?Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, told BuzzFeed News that one of two things could be happening: either the snow is falling too fast for it to melt into rain or it's only falling through a thin layer of above-freezing temperatures, or both. It was the real deal!
What a great post! And it’s not the first time we’ve seen snow in L.A. Amazing post, thank you so much for sharing! At that time, my father's aunt and uncle had a 20 acre ranch in Northridge near Balboa Ave. Throughout the property there were also lemons and grapefruit, as well as persimmons, peaches, apricots, kumquats, figs, and tangelos. I hope you have enjoyed your snowy visit to Encino!This blog has nothing to do with gorillas (though I love 'em)...fellow bloggers have inspired me to share vintage images of Disneyland from my personal collection.
