Yes, it snows in San Diego.
It’s one of the few places where you can surf in the morning and build a snowman in the afternoon. While the coast basks in sunshine, the nearby mountains—just an hour’s drive away—can be dusted with fresh snow. One moment, you’re grilling in flip-flops, and the next, you’re putting snow chains on your tires.
San Diego’s weather keeps you on your toes—because here, winter means shorts, sunglasses, and maybe a snowball fight… if you time it right.
