I believe you, Sheryl! Back in Feb of '89 or '90(??) the company I worked for then hosted a convention at the Anaheim Conv Center. We left DC with snow and ice on the ground...and wearing warm winter clothes. Never expected to need them in LA. By mid-week it began to get quite chilly and the news kept reporting that LA might see some snow flurries before the week was out. What??? Are we going to miss our promised trip to Disneyland?? No, we didn't miss it...we were broken up into small groups and bussed over to Disneyland for quick run throughs before the weather changed. By the last day of the convention we had pulled out the clothes we arrived in cuz it was too darn cold to wear our "LA specials"

I don't recall seeing any snow but we sure wanted to go home! On the way back we were the last plane to land in Dallas...our connection...on 4 inches of ice before that airport was closed!! That year, whichever it was, saw the whole U.S. in a major deep freeze. I think I remember a friend telling me that she actually saw some flurries in San Diego that year. So, yes, I believe you.
