Not true. While living in LA I experienced a tornado, numerous winter tstorms, torrential rain, 110+ heat, earthquakes, dense fog, hail, smoke from fires, and snow a 90 minute drive away. And always reliably great wx in summer.
Where I was, Carol was sustained 50+ with torrential rains. Edna was less memorable. Hazel was amazing! Tops of railroad poles blowing down the street but not much rain.
I remember sitting at my breakfast table reading the LA Times before work at my then private office. I noted the prog of a low in the gulf. I canceled the rest of the week and was on the red eye to Boston that night. Event was a dud-maybe 2 inches. But there was snow cover and cold. This was maybe January 1981?
Yeah it definitely uber weenieed me. I lost 15 winters! I probably will give them up soon and maybe become a snowbird. For now, I think a 1-2 week break late in winter works.
I don’t think it’s happened in my lifetime. I remember once in the 1960s having enough snow such that my brother and I had to shovel the sidewalk in front of my father’s pharmacy. But my recollection is it was 4-7 ish and over by afternoon.
