If you want a little snow, but don't want to worry about putting chains on your car, here's another idea: Winter Fest 2016 in Orange County, which starts today.
The festival, which will last until New Year's Day is at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa. There's food, rides, reindeer and yes, real snow.
Kim Coutts, an organizer with Mirage Entertainment, which puts on the event spoke to Sanden Totten today about what patrons can expect from the festival this year.
