Snow In Los Angeles Two Years In A Row

 

A few years before the Daily Planet took up residence in Los Angeles City Hall (1953, to be exact) in the Adventures of Superman, a rare snowstorm hit Los Angeles in January 1949.

The storm that brought blizzard warnings in Los Angeles County this past week motivated some people to post photos of the snow in 1949 Los Angeles. I found these interesting since I was born in Los Angeles and the snows in Los Angeles were a little before my time. 

As it turned out, the city was also had snow in January 1948. The photo below was taken on January 7, 1948 in the Cahuenga Pass near Universal Studios.
