well many consider LA Metro just LA County which includes Palmdale, but doesnt include OC, IE etc.

and most think of LA Area as LA Basin, OC, SFV, SGV, Ventura, and IE. (the correcty one as its all urbanly/suburbanly interwoven). palmdale is an area of it own.

if we include Palmdale in LA Area, we must also include Palm Springs in the LA Area. (technically both are but i prefer to go by directly connected cities rather than cities separated by geological barriers or miles and miles of unbuilt land)

Except that Palm Springs is 100 miles from LA. I was of the understanding that people commute from Palmdale to LA?

Anyway, if you throw Palmdale out though these are the best I could find:

Newhall January 11 1949: 35F max
Van Nuys January 11 1949: 39F
San Bernardino January 10 1949: 40F

I'll let you choose which is most appropriate since you know the area. Either way, the winter of 1949 must have been brutal in SoCal. Average high for San Bernardino in January was 50F, average low 32F.

yes some people commute from Palmdale to LA, just like some do it from San Diego to OC.

any of the three stated would be appropriate. but again LA being a place of microclimates we have to say where it is because the coast, the basin, and the valleys all differ.

just like Santa Monica Record low high is 50 F, and San Bernardino is 40 F, the coastal and valley locations differ, so again it must be known where in LA we are talking about.

and yeah it must have been brutal.

Santa Monica's record low high is 47 F, NOT 50 F AND they have recorded highs in the 50s multiple times in June and at least once in July. Summer of 2010, most of their June and July days didn't even hit 70 F.

National Weather Service - NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard

50 F it is, or tell me where is the 47F because the lowest i see is 50 F.

4 days at 59 F in June is incredible out of 2310 days (77 junes)

never in July, sorry but no.

and for the nth time this data is taken 800 feet into the pacific ocean on Santa monica Pier, temps on the promenade are easily 5 F warmer.

For Raleigh, NC, it's 10 F/-12 C on February 13, 1899. That day also received 8.7 inches of snow, which fell on top of another 9 inches, in the third biggest snowstorm of all time for my area.

What's funny is we had three days with highs in the 10s and two days with highs in the 70s that month.
