375 consecutive days with temperature over 60: The streak is overLos Angeles Times
If you were wondering where Fallbrook and Murrieta are they are north of Escondido and San Diego if you travel basically north on Interstate 15 from San Diego or Escondido. Snow is about as unusual there as in Los Angeles.
L.A. weather streak ends -- 375 consecutive days with temp of 60 degrees or more #SoCalWeather #SoCalSnow
The
streak is over. The storm that has brought snow to some parts of
Southern California has ended a 375-day stretch in which high
temperatures in downtown Los Angeles reached at least 60 degrees.
On Tuesday, the high in downtown L.A. was 56 degrees.
This was the second-longest string of consecutive days with highs of at least 60 downtown since record-keeping began in 1877.
The longest such streak stretched for a whopping 629 days -- from Feb. 27, 1993, to Nov. 17, 1994.
A few more weather facts:

Atmospheric Administration.

In November 2014, the average temperature in the contiguous U.S. was
39.3 degrees, which is 2.4 degrees below the 20th century average,
according to NOAA. A huge swath of the Midwest and East saw
temperatures "much below average" for the month. California, however,
was "much above average" in November. Twitter: @JosephSerna, @AmyTheHub end quote from: 375 consecutive days with temperature over 60: The streak is over
