Snow in LA? What! thats weird is that even possible. LA is warm all year my uncles said it is still warm over there even now in December. It better be warm when I get there in January.

Snow in the grapevine isn't uncommon but its very, very rare at lower elevations where people actually live. My dad remembers getting some snow in Brea in the late 40's when he was a little kid. So once every 50 years is about right.

It snowed in here in Fontana 2 winters ago. There's even pictures of it in the Inland Empire photo section.
I lost over half my citrus crop that January.

I can bet my life savings that it will never be 7 degrees in Southern California

The weather in California is beautiful even when it is considered "cold"

I guess I have a different definition of "cold" as long as it is not lower than 30

California weather kicks the ass out of New York

One of my cousins friends said that it gets "cold" in Los Angeles He said it gets so cold that you need a scarf and gloves... Thats Bull ****! I think that person or who ever wears that on a regular "cold day" in Los Angeles needs to get shot!

In conclusion NO it does not get "cold in Southern California! and I don't give a **** who disagrees!

I lived in Ranch Cucamonga for a while in 2000, Jan-April and I wore a puffy vest and could have used some gloves in the mornings. It was a cold wind that kept me cold. As I had come from Toronto,Canada I hadn't expected this, so I didn't pack for it.I thought it would be hot, ha ha I was surprised. I wasn't complaining about it though!!! It was great, just chilly outside in the mornings.

Just chilly I can handle that. I mean one time I was outside for like two hours waiting for a store to open I was wearing two shirts a seater and a huge coat that made me look like a fat ass it was 7 degrees and went down in the beginning of of March. I froze my ass that day. I am pretty sure this scenario will never happen in LA. I see that some of the responses say that there is snow from time to time in different parts. Look what I am trying to say in this forum is that Southern California has way better weather than New York and the rest of the north east I am right. I know I will enjoy the weather over in Southern California and cannot wait to leave this frigid piece of crap place.

Yo miranda, coastal SoCal rarely goes below 50 degrees. Here is Santa Monica's average temps throughout the year: Average Weather for Santa Monica, CA - Temperature and Precipitation Keep in mind that the people who are telling you it deeps into the 30s are talking about more inland locations, ie Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana are in the Inland Empire which is a good 45-60min drive from the ocean. The ocean moderates the temperature in the coastal regions so it rarely ever gets too hot or too cold. I think you will enjoy it.

There are coastal OC. weather stations that have never recorded a freezing temp.--
32 degees or less....

False.

FL keys are only area in continental U.S. with no record of freezing temps. Even Miami beach has had snow/freezing temps. Even south Texas (Brownsville) had first snow in 100 years a few years back.

Laguna Beach for instance has hit 21f, and hit 20s in every month from november to march.

Hmmm..weather alamanac has its average low for january this year at 47, at it hit 39f at least once. I don't see how this is "rarely" going under 50.

If you were talking about SoFL you'd be right.

I stand corrected I was always told there was some out of city locals between San Clemente and South coast that have never seen freezeing temps...I did witness a freeze in Laguna in the 90's....
