The storm was expected to strengthen on Friday and linger over California through Saturday, the NWS said. Craig Robert Young, an actor who starred in the television series “Charmed” and “The Last Ship,” lives in Hollywood Hills within eyeshot of the famed sign. He said he was amazed to see snow swirling there.
A separate storm that clobbered the U.S. Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes regions earlier this week blew out to the Atlantic on Friday after passing over New England, the weather service said. More than 750,000 homes and businesses, mostly in Michigan, remained without electricity. In Los Angeles County on Friday, a blizzard warning was issued for the San Gabriel Mountains north of the city – the first in the L.A. region since 1989 – with 2 to 5 feet of snow forecast above an elevation of 4,500 feet , the weather service said. Seven feet of snow could accumulate in some spots with winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour .
