Sunny California City Has First Snow; Says Fruit Crop Not Hurt I os Angeles, Jan. 18.—From a hail inch to a halt a foot of snow cov ered southern California last week. The occurrence marked the first time the 54 year-old Los Angeles weather bureau marked down such a report. The measured Los Angeles snow fall was two Inches. "People will say it has snowed here before.” said Col. H. B. Hersey. of the weather bureau, ‘ but it nev er has. What we got early Friday' morning can be put down as a real,! old-fashioned eastern snow fall.” The fall was accompanied by a low temperature of 34 degrees, the coldest since 1922 In Los Angeles. The snow began falling above five a. m. and continued for an hour and a half. It remained on the ground for about two hours. , The storm got the populace as excited as though a major catas trophe had happened. Newspapers ' issued “extra” editions with large headlines. The whole city was out > of bed hours earlier than usual to see what had happened. Children, many of whom never had seen snow, pelted snowballs in, high glee while parents ’ swamped stores with purchases of camera film. One woman telephoned a Holly wood newspaper and asked what the movies were ‘'doing now, put ting a snow scene all over mv front yard." Not until she had gone out and touched the snow would she believe that the weather was tc blame. Residents in some of the higher sections, notably La Crescenta, we>e forced to equip their automobiles with chains and shovel out before they could drive. No point escaped the blast rf winter. Altadena had three inches the first since 1915. The citrus be'f, Riverside, Pomona, and San B^i - nardino, changed its dress from the soft green of orange trees to a gown of white. Orange and lemon growers saV. their crops were not damaged, ex cept in few instances where the weight of the snow snapped branches. Low temperatures rang ed between 30 and 34 degrees, a sizeable margin of safety from the frost danger line.
