Well, if I were stuck in the snow without power, I couldn't post this, so that's a good sign.
Actually, we got snow in the LA area yesterday--a little dusting in Malibu Canyon and some in the San Fernando Valley. Other than a little on the top of Palos Verdes 20 years ago, which is high, so it doesn't count, there has been no snow in LA since the 1940s. Although, the 1945 (or was it 46?) snow was actually a significant one, not just some flurries. Enough to make snowballs.
On the other side, my wife is off to Finland next week, where it's unseasonably warm, and they just got their first light snow in the last week or so. Europe is in a heat wave, of sorts, and the US is freezing its collective buns off. Go figure.
