This is shaping up to be a very strange July.
Not only is Christmas music is playing on the radio in The Coachella Valley, but there is also snow falling Tioga Pass in the eastern Sierra Nevada:

CalTrans was forced to shut down roads for a bit on Thursday – but, the snow then turned to rain and those roads were reopened as of Friday morning.
