Will you get snow during the winter storm? Look up your home’s elevation

A Winter Storm moving into Southern California is expected to drop 2 to 5 feet of snow on mountains above 4,000 feet and potentially deliver snowfall to much lower elevations, including metropolitan Los Angeles.   

Meteorologists are expecting the snow level to drop to 1,000 feet beginning Wednesday night and into the weekend.
