Snow In Silver Lake

Sweltering hot weather and humidity that reminds me of my days in Washington D.C. is one thing, but I think we'd all be even more perplexed if we saw snow outside our front doors.

The picture above is a postcard rendition of a staged snowstorm that Max Sennett put together when he had his studios in the Edendale/Silver Lake area. But evidently, it truely did snow here at one time. In 1949 to be exact. The Edendale Post Office (on the corner of Alvarado and Glendale) has apicture of the snow but I haven't been able to find any online.
