I lived in California for about a year and a half, combining Navy boot camp at San Diego, and after Vietnam, being home-ported on a minesweeper in Long Beach which adjoins L.A. Never in my pre-dawn assignments or liberty weekend wanderings did I ever think about snow. Later I visited California on vacations and business, both San Francisco and L.A. again, with no snow ever in mind.
But here in the past week were TV news pictures of snow banks in L.A., and even the Hollywood sign with a dusting of snow. I can't imagine the cities have any snow-clearing gear, though they may have brought in a few plows from the mountains. And of course, this being California, the melt-off will come soon and happen fast. Still, snow in L.A., maybe even in sable's Burbank, it just doesn't seem right.
Here in central North Carolina, during the month of February, we had two days that got over eighty degrees. No comment.
