It technically snows in California, but mostly in the high mountain areas and not in the lower elevations. You'll see snow-capped peaks in places like the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe during winter but not in lower elevations and coastal cities. The valley floor in Yosemite sometimes gets a blanket of snow but often melts quickly and doesn't stick around
