It was a white Thanksgiving in Southern California, as a "Weather whiplash" storm dumped several inches of snow in some regions - and helped to extinguish a wildfire, according to a new report.
Up to 8 inches of snow fell in some parts of the Antelope Valley, at the western tip of the Mojave Desert, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Over the last two days, Lancaster has seen 4 to 5 inches of snow and 3 inches fell in nearby Palmdale, the paper reported.
The snow helped extinguish a blaze known as the Cave Fire in Santa Barbara County that had threatened homes earlier in the week, authorities told the outlet.
The snow brought a mixture of glee and dismay to Californians on Twitter.
"It's been so so long since we last had snow where I live! THIS IS AMAZING!!!! It's SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!".
"People are excited about snow in California," another user shared.
