You must be kidding. Snow?

Some Californians spent Thanksgiving Day frying turkeys on the beach and enjoying a little sun and surf. And now, snow?

That's right. Southern California, known more for the ease of predicting the never-changing weather, threw us a little curve ball as the Grapevine section of Interstate 5, just north of LA, saw its balmy weather turn into snow showers.

The weather service has issued a winter weather advisory for the Ventura, San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains that will remain in effect until 3 p.m. The storm, which is coming out of the north, is expected to bring a chance of showers and snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches.

California Highway Patrol officers were running escorts through the Tejon Pass before dawn, according to broadcast reports from the Gorman area, as a way to keep speeds down and drivers safe.

For those who just can't get into the holiday spirit, pack up the car and head north to have a snowball fight with your friends or family. Or better yet, act like a kid and make some snow angels. Take advantage of the snow because Christmas is just around the corner, and in Southern California that means a Christmas dinner on the beach.
