In January, 1949, more than half an inch of snow covered the Civic Center in Downtown Los Angeles. In the San Fernando Valley, almost a foot of snow accumulated over three days. Photograph caption dated January 11, 1949 reads "A blanket of snow, at least three inches thick, covers the Valley today, turning yards into scenes reminiscent of a Currier and Ives print. This photo was taken in North Hollywood."
