Many in Southern California deal with snow and snow conditions so infrequently they forget that at 9,000 feet temperatures can easily drop to _120 F and to below _200 F above timberline. The annual average snowfall in the San Bernardino National Forest is about 6 feet and has reached 15 feet. Snow with gale winds can produce a "whiteout" and bring wind-chills to below -500 F.Source

I want the whole county covered with 4’ of snow, not just a handful of mountains.

Being that Absolute zero is defined as -459.67 °F your cited source stating
Snow with gale winds can produce a "whiteout" and bring wind-chills to below -500 F.
seems to be off the scale. How do Californians do that?

WOW, -500F windchill? You need a different source. According to our physics, that is impossible, since absolute zero is about -459 F.
