snow in LA???

well, not really. but it looks that way.

This extended indian summer has wreaked havoc in the hills, sparking raging wildfires.

earlier in the week, there was a 18,000 acre wildfire in the Burbank hills. This sent HUGE pieces of ash flying into the valley.

But today's fire is worse. There were little snowflake sized pieces of ash falling everywhere...downtown, hollywood, the valley...everywhere.

it looks like snow.

pretty...but annoying and sad, thinking that the ash could have been someone's family photo album, or that 100 year old oak that once gave respite from the southern california sun.
