The National Weather Service records
area weather data in downtown Los Angeles,
at the Los Angeles International Airport, and in Long Beach. Snow does
fall annually
in the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County and even
occasionally in the
foothills in the northern portion of the City of Los Angeles. On
January 17, 2007, an
extremely rare light dusting of snow also fell in the Malibu area and
in West Los Angeles.
It does happen.
