南加州的感恩节是白色的，有几英寸厚的雪

It was a white Thanksgiving in Southern California, as a “weather whiplash” storm dumped several inches of snow in some regions — and helped to extinguish a wildfire, according to a new report.

根据一份新的报告，这是南加州一个白色的感恩节，一场“天气鞭打”风暴给一些地区带来了几英寸的降雪，并帮助扑灭了一场野火。

Up to 8 inches of snow fell in some parts of the Antelope Valley, at the western tip of the Mojave Desert, The Los Angeles Times reported.

据《洛杉矶时报》报道，莫哈韦沙漠西端的羚羊谷部分地区降雪量高达8英寸。

Over the last two days, Lancaster has seen 4 to 5 inches of snow and 3 inches fell in nearby Palmdale, the paper reported.

据报道，在过去的两天里，兰开斯特已经下了4到5英寸的雪，附近的帕姆代尔也下了3英寸。

Part of Interstate 5 was also closed amid heavy snow, according to the report.

报道称，由于大雪，5号州际公路的部分路段也被关闭。

The snow helped extinguish a blaze known as the Cave Fire in Santa Barbara County that had threatened homes earlier in the week, authorities told the outlet.

当局告诉媒体，本周早些时候，圣巴巴拉县的一场被称为“洞穴火灾”的大火威胁了当地居民的房屋，而这场大雪帮助扑灭了这场大火。

“This is just really unique. We’ve never had fire with active snowfall near the point of origin. It’s very unusual,” county fire department spokesman Mike Eliason told the outlet. “It was a very thankful moment. Thankful that no one got injured, no one lost their home. That the snow came over heavy rain. And I’m just thankful that everybody got home safe.”

“这真的很独特。我们从来没有火灾与活动降雪的点附近的起源。这很不寻常，”县消防局发言人迈克·埃利亚森告诉媒体。“这是一个非常感谢的时刻。谢天谢地，没有人受伤，没有人无家可归。下了一场大雪。我只感谢大家都平安回家。”

The weather was a significant departure from conditions earlier this month, climatologist Bill Patzert noted.

气候学家比尔·帕泽特(Bill Patzert)指出，这种天气与本月早些时候的情况大不相同。

“It was weather whiplash — an abrupt change from hot and dry to unusually frigid,” he told the outlet. “Like 0 to 60 in a Tesla.”

“这是一场天气剧变——从炎热干燥突然转变为异常寒冷，”他告诉媒体。“就像一辆特斯拉从0加速到60英里。”
