I too like the climate here, but it does not snow every 10 years. The north end of the valley (about 10-12 miles away) last got snow in 1989 (28 years ago). I didn’t think it even snowed then in North Hollywood. I was living in Granada Hills (where it did snow) at the time. However, even there the “snow” was gone in a matter of hours. When I think of places that get infrequent snow that means that they get an actual snowstorm, but rarely. Snow in Los Angeles is just a brief freak event. My parents said it “snowed” a similar amount sometime when I was little (I’m 50 in 2017).
I researched about “bigger snow events” that happened in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. 1962 was the last time an appreciable amount of snow fell and hung around for a while. It was 1949 before that.
As for the hot temperatures. I lived and worked in North Hollywood for 24 years and I still work there. It gets into the 100’s at least a few days EVERY year. And it spends plenty of days between July and September in the 90’s and we can have 90’s in October too. It is cooler than the west valley and northwest valley by about 5-10 degrees.
