Angelenos have of late been bombarded, confused and utterly stalled on the freeways because of the massive, epic, unprecedented amount of rain we've had. But now, shit is about to get real: According to KTLA, temperatures in some parts of the Southalnd are going to dip below freezing tonight.
Below freezing.
For those of you who have either never experienced that before or forgotten your cold-weather roots, let us remind you that that technically means temps below 32 degrees Farenheit.
KTLA notes that in areas including the Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley, and the Antelope Valley, temperatures might get down as far as the teens. The Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, Inland Empire and Orange County could see those good old freezing temps.
