A slow-moving winter storm intensified over California on Friday, triggering the first blizzard warning in parts of the Los Angeles area since 1989 and creating the extraordinary sight of snowflakes swirling around the iconic Hollywood sign.

Seven feet 7 feet of snow could accumulate in some spots with winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour.
