Cold weather brought ice to West Los Angeles this morning. I saw it at
Clover Ave School, near Westwood and National Blvds, where sprinkler
water ran off onto the sidewalk and froze. It was still frozen at 10:15
am (in the shade) and my little daughter had fun sliding on it. This
loction is only 5 miles from the ocean and "never" freezes. It s not
like other areas of "Los Angeles" which are further from the ocean and
have a more extreme climate, and get freezes every few years. Tropical
plants grow all over here and I have never seen this in my 20 years
here.

Santa Monica Airport reported a low of 32. Surprisingly downtown LA was
warmer at 38.

Well, there you go. 20 years of data.

Case Closed.
