It snows almost every winter in San Diego County on My Palomar.  Los Angles 
County gets snow in the mountains and desert.

If you look carefully at the map, I think the brown area covers almost 
all the west coast between Canada and Mexico and far inland, including 
Livermore, although it's hard to judge where state boundaries are.  And 
if you look at the fine print, less than 2.5 cm for the whole month of 
July means less than 1/4 inch per week.  The only point that matters 
anyway is that the hills here are as brown as Livermore.
