Hold on Hong Kong Archivesto your oat milk. It SNOWED in Los Angeles.
Southern California — known for its year-long sunshine, mild temperatures, desert mountains, and gorgeous beaches — saw snow on Thursday afternoon, and everyone in the Los Angeles area justifiably freaked the fuck out.
SEE ALSO: Seattle's gone to the dogs, literally, following record snowfallAn "unusually chilly storm" from Alberta, Canada brought snow over Las Vegas on Thursday morning, according to the Los Angeles Times. By the afternoon, snow dusted more northern parts of L.A. and Ventura County, stopping traffic as Angelenos reveled in it.
Although snow is common in the mountains surrounding Los Angeles, it rarely snows in the city itself. It hasn't snowed in the L.A. Basin — where a majority of the population lives — since January 1962, according to the Los Angeles Public Library archives. On Thursday it fell in places at 1000 feet above sea level — which means neighborhoods that haven't experienced a decent winter wonderland in decades even got some flecks.
And people understandably took to social media to express their surprise.
