I happened upon this photo, captioned:
"View north from the Cahuenga Pass in 1948. A concrete barrier is seen in the foreground while houses are on the hill in the background."

But is that “snow” in the picture?

Upon a little more research I found this one:
LAPL
It’s captioned:
"View of tracks next to the Cahuenga Pass in 1948 or 1949."
I’m guessing it was 1949 as there was an historic snowfall in Los Angeles that year and the other photo I posted is probably a year off. Since snow is a rarity in Los Angeles, you'd think
it would be mentioned in a caption.
