It's still on the warm side in Southern California, but snow is in the funcast for several regional parks.
We said "funcast," for these pretty flakes won't be drifting to the ground in our sunny region.
Rather, LA County Parks is again presenting its Parks After Dark Winter Wonderland, a free event series that gives Southern Californians the chance to savor some snow play.

The events are launching Dec. 6, with several snowy stop-bys in the wintry works. And we do mean "snowy": These "Winter Wonderlands" will feature 40 to 80 tons of snow, giving tots the chance to sled, frolic, and savor the sparkly scene.
Look also for "live entertainment, crafts, raffle prizes, photos with a holiday character, free toys, refreshments, and more."
The snowy fun will pop up at select parks on select dates, so be sure to check this site and the schedule to find out when the winter-ish whimsy is landing near you.
