When you think of California, you think of sunshine, beaches, and Hollywood. Well, California is a big place. While those tings are great, it also gets a fair amount of snow.
Recently, California was hit with a major snowstorm leaving up to 15 feet of snow in some places. Luckily, many folks there are used to winter conditions, but 15ft is tough on even the most seasoned veteran.
You hear 15 feet of snow but your brain has trouble even imagining what that looks like. So here are some pictures people shared of the mega blizzard’s aftermath.
