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 "Les Koontz, left, and Doug Simpson push snowdrift off a car parked outside overnight. Hundreds of motorists had the same experience early today, and many started for work with just the car windshield and rear window cleared."
