How often does it snow in LA?

Answer 1

Given the extreme range of climatic conditions in California, this is rather a nonsensical question, akin to asking how smart are people in California. IOW, it ranges from practically zero to almost a hundred feet per year, depending on the season, elevation and geographical location. Since California extends from Chula Vista (32°N latitude), near the Mexican border, to Yreka (41°N latitude), on the Oregon border, some 770 miles to the north, and has elevations ranging from 282 feet BELOW sea level to over 14,000 feet ABOVE sea level (only 85 miles apart) and has over 800 miles of coast line with the Pacific Ocean and has extensive mountain ranges that dramatically affect the weather and the climate, one would need to be more specific in their question in order to get an answer that really meant anything.

Generally speaking, Southern California and most coastal areas receive NO snowfall and the northern areas and mountainous regions receive record amounts yearly.

Answer 2

It is very rare for it to snow in Los Angeles. In fact, measurable snowfall in the city itself is extremely uncommon and typically only occurs once every few decades. Snow is more likely in the surrounding mountains.

Answer 3

About zero. There are people living in LA who have never even seen snow.

Answer 4

Never because LA isn't that cold. It is winter and today's temperature was in the 70's and 80's. I would know cuz i live in LA :)
