A group of photographers didn't miss a rare opportunity Sunday after an unusually powerful winter storm covered Southern California's mountains with snow.
An overlook at Kenneth Hahn State Park provides dramatic views of Los Angeles, including the downtown area and Hollywood sign, with mountains in the background. But it's not often those mountains are blanketed in snow like they were over the weekend.
"I've lived here for 40 years, and I've never seen it like this," said one of the photographers.

The park is ideally located in the Baldwin Hills are for a view of LA's varied landscape with the rugged mountains in the background, high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles and a row of palm trees closer to the overlook. Managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, the park has five miles of trails that also offer sweeping views.
The strong storm brought several feet of snow to Southern California's mountains last week and into the weekend. Another less powerful storm is scheduled to move through SoCal Monday through Wednesday.
