Los Angeles, known for its sunny weather and warm temperatures, experienced something many of residents haven't seen in years last Thursday, February 21: snow!

It was a chilly day in LA, with temperatures reaching down to a shiver-worthy 43 degrees.
Since that is well above freezing, one might wonder how ANY snow, even the little bit witnessed in these videos, is possible. Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, explained the precipitation to Buzzfeed News:
"When precipitation forms it may form as snow. As it falls it may not melt into rain whether that's a very thin layer of warmer temperatures or if it's falling fast enough."
