Break out the cozy blankets and find a spot by the fireplace Thursday evening because a chilly winter storm is set to arrive in Southern California, bringing rain and snow to the region. The storm is expected to creep down the coast throughout the day before reaching Los Angeles County about 8 p.m., said Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Up to 2 feet of snow are expected at elevations above 2,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento. “We’re still looking good for the season even though January has been a little drier than normal,” Kittell said. “Usually February is our wettest month, so we have plenty of reason to hope for more rain.”
