Thursday, November 21, 2019
Just days after roasting under record high temperatures, Southern California got a wintry blast Wednesday as a powerful storm brought rain, hail, wind and snow.

Hail isn't a particularly common sight across the usually dry region, but residents in Whittier, Arcadia and Covina, among other locations, saw pellets of ice falling from the sky.

Pea-sized hail blanketed downtown Los Angeles sidewalks before being washed away by a deluge of rain. Some areas could see more than 3 inches of rain.



Meanwhile up to 8 inches of snow, another rare weather event to the region, fell across the San Bernardino Mountains overnight, requiring drivers to have chains on their tires.
