Flagstaff, Arizona, had its snowiest day in the city's history with 35.9 inches.

Even the Los Angeles area reported snow showers.

Guess - where in LA is this? The Angeles National Forest? Baldy?

Nope.

The Sierras? Mount Whitney? The Cascades?

Try again.

Can you believe it snowed in the #santamonicamountains today! pic.twitter.com/hXaU7lPruS
