Officer Stephan Brandt of the California Highway Patrol said shortly after 5 p.m. his department received a report of multiple drivers stopping and parking near the Malibu Canyon Tunnel.
“They were playing in the snow,” said Brandt, who advised such activities were “dangerous” and unwise.
The snow may have also played a part in a pair of car accidents. A Jeep overturned shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Malibu Canyon Road. There were no injuries, and the vehicle was cleared about an hour later.
And a sedan drove over the side of the road on Kanan Dume Road near Newton Canyon at 11:25 a.m. One person was airlifted to a local hospital, their condition unknown.

A bad pun is better than no pun.
Don’t get excited. Global warming will make it melt.
I’ve never seen snow at lower elevations in Southern California. The last big snowstorm to hit the Southland was the Great Pasadena Blizzard of 1949, which buried the region under four inches of snow.
However, we had a hail storm last month that covered everything with white stuff—biggest hail storm I’ve ever seen.
Wow four inches.
Had that here this morning didn’t think much of it.
I so well remember that snow in 1949. Have motion pictures of me coming down the street on a sled... in Highland Park, Ca!!! I was 8 years old.
That’s what was told. It was my birthday, January 10th, 1949.

LOL they call that snow. I have frost deeper than that.
So hell really did freeze over.
I am in lowland Western Washington. It is chilly and rainy today but there has been no snow whatsoever yet in this winter season. We are 1100 miles north of LA. It is amazing that they get snow before we do.
Describe ‘lower elevation’.
Below 2,000 feet above sea level. In Southern California, snow regularly falls above 5,000 feet and sometimes gets down to 4,000 feet or lower, but very rarely below 2,000 feet.
In 1979, Beaumont, in Riverside County, which sits at about 2,000 feet above sea level was blanketed with snow, but there was none below that elevation. That was the last time I saw snow in a large community other than a mountain resort in Southern California.
