Looking at LA’s weather these days, you’d be excused for thinking that Southern California never sees snow. And it doesn’t anymore but up until the 1960s, LA got a snowstorm about once a decade. This photo was taken on February 7, 1948 and shows snow on the Cahuenga Pass that connects Hollywood with the San Fernando Valley. These days the pass is all freeway (the Hollywood 101) but back then, streetcars used to run down the middle of it. I pity that sole passenger waiting at the stop in the snow.
