I lived in California 3 times during my life and my son, father and sister live there now. There is almost always snow in the mountains somewhere (like San Jacinto between San Diego and Palm Springs). Once I lived in the foothills of the Sierras. We sometimes had snow above 2000 ft, and we had seasons like there are in most of the country. Once, when I was six, I remember it snowed in Pasadena (a real rarity or perhaps a faulty memory) in 1957. Mt. Shasta always has snow on its cap. I don't remember snow in San Francisco at all, buy my dad and his wife live north of there near the redwood area and I think there is snow there occasionally.

I've never seen it. There are spots in San Diego county where it snows. Too out of the way for me.

I've seen snow lots and lots of times, including on Christmas, because I go skiing in Big Bear a lot. :)

Where I live in Northern California, it snows very lightly and very briefly maybe once every 5 or 10 years. Usually, we have a damp Christmas.

I live at about 6000 feet in elevation or 1750 meters.
It snows all of the time and I live 90 minutes from Los Angeles.

It snows every year in California, just not EVERY place in Cali. The mountains consistently have lots of snow, whereas the coastal low regions may never have any. It all depends on where in Califorina you are talking about.

The recent 3 storms dusted some of the mountains in my area, but I'm only at about 3000 feet so I only got rain...

I've been to Big Bear, Mammoth, Tahoe, etc... along with some other places that get snow.

Kiss A Small Angel

Only been in California once and it was green and smoggy.
I'm hibernating with a cup of sugar free hot chocolate w/cocoa added. Is cold and blustery here today. I chanced upon a few stray snowflakes at 6 am this morning when letting the Sheepdog out. Is supposed to be colder tonight.

The last time I saw snow in the part of California where I live (north & east of San Francisco) was in 1976.

Yes, I've had a white Christmas living in other parts of the US and in Germany.

In California we have a "white" Christmas when the fog is white and basically surrounds everything. :-)

I live in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. We get snow here on the highest coastal mountains just about every year, but if you drive 3 hours east, there is snow every year, and plenty of it. A couple of my sisters live there, in bear country, with snow and mountain lions. We had a huge storm here last week, and when it got to the mountains, it snowed so hard that my family members were snowed in and couldn't get out of their house for 4 days. They ran out of water, which they need to flush toilets, so they had to "go" outside in the freezing snow.

The are tough.

I've never had a white Christmas in California, but I've not lived here my whole life. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and sometimes we do get snow on the very high hill peaks, but it doesn't stay around long. Those hills are more like small mountains. Also, it always snows in the Sierra Nevada mountains and their foothills near Lake Tahoe. And it snows sometimes in Northern California up near Oregon. Most of California is not like the beaches of Los Angeles.

In my life, I've yet to see California so I really wouldn't have been able to see snow. I HAVE however been to British Colombia, Canada. Which is north of Cali and they get snow.

Does that count? Probably not.

Never had a white Christmas in CA (first 5 years in Minnesota, we had white Christmases--but I don't remember.
However, I have seen it snow in northern Ca about 4 times. It usually melts right away, except for the time in Sonoma County, where the people that lived on the top on Sonoma Mountain Road were snowed in for about 3 days in 1974.
