Jeff Zarrinnam was born in Hollywood and lives inside a mile of the long-lasting signal.
For the primary time in his life, the 59-year-old chairman of the Hollywood Signal Belief was in a position Thursday to make a snowball close to the world-renowned landmark.
“I’ve seen all the things,” he mentioned, however “it was fairly a shock this morning” to search out snow outdoors his home.
The uncommon climate phenomenon is because of a “extremely dynamic” climate system that’s anticipated to convey heavy rain, sturdy winds, thunderstorms and potential flooding to areas in and round Los Angeles.
Snow close to the Hollywood signal is “a really uncommon occasion,” mentioned Jeff Zarrinnam, so he was excited to seize it.

Zarrinnam snapped a photograph of a snowball with the signal within the background. “It’s a really uncommon occasion,” he mentioned, so he was excited to seize it.
Although he hadn’t been to the signal to substantiate, he guessed that snow had fallen across the landmark within the hills above his home.
“If I’m under it, then after all there was snow up there as properly,” Zarrinnam mentioned.
“It’s a must to be fast” to get a photograph, he mentioned, as a result of the snow rapidly melted within the solar.
The signal sits at an elevation of 1,578 ft, simply above the 1,500-foot line at which the Nationwide Climate Service anticipated to see snow in the course of the storm bringing frigid temperatures to Southern California.
