Ready on the Firing Line

Found this picture at an antique store in Simi Valley California (a place where it rarely, if ever, snows). Was this documentation of a freak storm somewhere in Southern California, or was our lady with snowball in hand somewhere else? I will never know for sure, but the fact that the car door is open and the driver is waiting behind the wheel, suggests that they decided to photograph a once in a lifetime event before it melted.

December 1947

Checking weather records makes December 1947 a likely date this photo was taken. There was snow in the Los Angeles area on that date, and it is consistent with the dates of other labeled photos in this photo collection.
