As a blizzard moves across rest of the country, it is a good time to remember that the last snowfall in Corona del Mar was 71 years ago, this month.  On the night of January 10, 1949, snow started to fall and continued into the 11th.  

​Anaheim and Orange received 3 inches of snow and it was recorded at 4 inches at the Irvine Ranch.   The temperature in Orange County remained in the 20s for the next few days.
