4 (D-127) Los Angeles


A snowy day in Grenoble today. Does it snow in Los Angeles?? The National Weather Service tells us that the last snowfall in Downtown Los Angeles was on January 22, 1962! Just a trace (less than 0.5 inches) of snow. [This is an extra "tidbit" of information about Los Angeles.]

4. (D-127) Los Angeles, our first destination, is home to people from more than 140 countries speaking 224 different identified languages. The 2000 census indicated that
-42.2% spoke English (!),
-41.7% Spanish,
-2.4% Korean,
-2.3% Tagalog,
-1.7% Armenian,
-1.5% Chinese (including Cantonese and Mandarin) and
-1.3% Persian
as their first language.

And French??? Go to:
