LA’s Wild Winter Storm!

This is what Los Angeles usually looks like in the winter: palm trees and wind surfers, even on a cloudy day…but not this week, when a massive freak winter storm left the iconic Hollywood sign dusted with snow!

It was wall-to-wall news coverage as m ore than ten feet of snow fell in the mountains just east of the city, and believe it or not, I watched a hailstorm out my window in Beverly Hills!

Hail began to pelt our house at 11am in the morning!

Here’s what I saw out our front door:

Our skylight was covered with hail – and since this is Beverly Hills, my wife and I were on our way to an advance screening of the Keanu Reeves film “John Wick 4.”

This is what happened in our car:

Trust me, this is NOT normal!

We ended up with more than 7 inches of rain that day – and the entire Southern California basin was disrupted by rain, snow and flooding…to give you context, this is what a normal morning looks like from our house:

That’s downtown Los Angeles from he top of our hill in Beverly Hills…spectacular!

You can see video of this spectacular sunrise here:

Even though Beverly Hills is right below us, we still are up in the Hills and that means we get visitors:

We have deer visit quite often – here’s a look at more of our 90210 wildlife encounters:

The L.A. basin has so many places to explore: from Santa Monica and Venice Beach on the Pacific Ocean, to the celebrity enclave Malibu just north.

I was in Malibu and had a fun Dolphin encounter as well:

Malibu is less than a half hour drive along the ocean from Santa Monica, and worth the trip..here are more of my Dolphin encounters:

It had me wondering:

How do they sleep?
