My wife is a native Californian, she grew up in Redondo Beach near Los Angeles. She can recall breaking ice on the chicken's water in the backyard. It even snowed once! That was back in the forties.
There is a really good climate change article in the current issue of National Geographic. It's about the drying of the west. Some of it is due to a natural cycle of drought and wet but much of it is due to global climate change.
