There's been lots of false alarms over the years, but the forecast has never been as strong as this one.
A big storm is coming to southern California on Thursday and Friday.
It's going to be unusually cold, and the snow level is presently forecasted for 1000 feet, which is far lower than I've ever seen it forecast. Many areas of LA are over 1000 feet, and many (such as the San Fernando Valley) are close to 1000 feet.
In February 2019, parts of the LA area got a little bit of snow, including about 2 miles from me, but it didn't get my house.
The last time snow fell in the San Fernando Valley was in the 1980s.
It has not snowed in downtown Los Angeles since well before I was born, but that will be possible on Friday.
Strangely, the news media is not picking up on this yet, for the most part. I've only seen KTLA Channel 5 mentioning it.
If you live in LA in the hills, you might be seeing white stuff all over your yard and the streets on Thursday and Friday.
Either way, over 2 inches of precipitation will fall, and the southern California mountains will get 2-4 feet of snow. The snow forecasted for 1000 feet is 1-4 inches, which is measurable and will stick for a little bit.
