Rain closures in Griffith Park.
The oddly moderated Griffith Park Recovery, which has only anonymous posts, in a boring press release style, says some (most?) roads into GP will be closed for rain. Past rain, that is; no rain yet today. Includes the Bird Sanctuary, and we know how popular that is.
For no determinate time. So don’t count on them. Just sit and wait for another announcement.
Here’s something to look at while you wait: snow above Glendale Blvd, in Atwater. It looks like about 3 mountain ranges away- first time this year it’s been visible. Say, is that a Martian in the upper right corner?
Atwater could change its name to Atsnow, if it crept down the mountain.

I'm in the LA Press Club, and you can find some of my articles in the LA Weekly and the Los Feliz Ledger. I'm a cartoonist for Parade Magazine, The New Yorker, LA Times, Slate, & most major media.
