  I cannot understand what narwhals have to do with the Mandela effect....they are not new, sailors used to hunt them for their tusk.  They just live in the arctic and are rarely seen...unless you are in the arctic.  In the history people did not have cameras like they do now, so mostly the older picture of them are drawings..

  ´The narwhal, or narwhale (Monodon monoceros), is a medium-sized toothed whale that possesses a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth. It lives year-round in the Arctic waters around Greenland, Canada, and Russia. It is one of two living species of whale in the Monodontidae family, along with the beluga whale. The narwhal males are distinguished by a long, straight, helical tusk, which is an elongated upper left canine. The narwhal was one of many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his publication Systema Naturae in 1758.´´

      Pet, I've seen LA get snow, those mountains are quite high and would naturally be snow capped, the pic I posted may have been taken in summer, but in the winter, LA gets a lot of snow. The second photo that you posted clearly shows snow on the mountains, I don't think its photoshop, or A.I. .. I think its reality, there are countless pictures of the LA snow capped mountains and people go skying up in those mountains in LA.. check out the following pictures, and the subsequent videos.

      

      

      

      

      

      

      

      

      You can see the Hollywood sign, just behind it are snow capped mountains ..

          Skiing is probably not the first winter activity that comes to mind when you’re thinking about the warm climate of sunny Southern California. But don’t rule out this snowy sport as well as places to sit by the fire when you’re done because, within a reasonable distance from downtown, you’ll find a number of great mountains on which to hit the slopes. While certain such places are very close to Los Angeles, others are not much more than four hours or so away from the City of Angeles proper. That said, consider the following five.

          Angelenos love Big Bear as a skiing option, proved positive since many residents own second homes in the vicinity, many near Snow Summit Mountain Resort, the perfect pushing-off point. Multiple runs are well groomed with both natural and manufactured powder. This resort not only offers alpine views but also great opportunities to take ski skills to new heights. One great feature is the chance to fly down the hill after sunset during the weekends and on holidays, a special something extra for the athlete who has a special romance with this particular sport. Families are among the highest demographics heading for Big Bear, especially due to the availability of great snow schools geared to all ages.

          Snow Summit’s sister resort, Bear Mountain, is only a 10-minute shuttle away with no price to pay. Nicknamed the People’s Mountain, Bear is a great place to begin to ski if you’ve never tried this particular sport. It’s also a great place to negotiate, after you’ve learned to turn, with innovative terrain waiting for you throughout the winter months. The longest run is Geronimo at one and a half miles. That said, when the powder hits, those in the know looking for first tracks head for Deer and Bow Ganyons for fine tree skiing and ideal inbound resort riding.Snow Summit is also wildly popular with snow-bound partiers who like adventure and who happily find that at the mountain’s freewheeling Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding Park.

          Mountain High is the closest ski resort to Los Angeles and well worth a day trip for the chance to enjoy an historic place that introduced this intrepid winter sport to Southern California decades ago in 1924. Located within Big Pines Park, this highly regarded outpost is not only exciting but also user friendly since the staff is inclined to help in any manner possible. Repeat visitors tend to be faithful to Mountain High where such ski masters as Alf Engen and Hjalmar Hvam once took to jumping and record holding right here in San Bernardino. Besides skiing, this resort also takes pride in its tubing park named for the North Pole and arguably the biggest facility of its type in Southern California.

          Cross country skiing is the order of the day at Mount Pinos, situated about 75 miles northwest of downtown LA in the Los Padres National Forest and crossing the border of Ventura and Kern counties. A popular place to camp in warmer months and a place of pride for astronomers during the summer and fall, this Southern California mainstay boasts a 8,847-foot summit, the highest in this part of the Golden State. Sometimes a rough area for people trekking on two sticks of wood, the Southern California Nordic Ski Patrol is a fine operation that keeps visitors of this ilk in the safety zone as much as is humanly possible.

          Further afield than the other options listed here, Mammoth Mountain is world class and worth the four- or five-hour drive north for the skiing opportunities you’ll unearth at this snow-driven place. An actual lava dome complex, the geologically intriguing outpost is California’s highest ski resort with some 150 trails, all named. Also on offer are 3,500 acres of positive terrain. Ifyour favorite local haunt is closed for the year, set your sights and skis on Mammoth. You won’t be sorry, not one little bit.

            Yep... I used to hit Mountain High when I was a kid. You could go snowboarding in the morning, & be skateboarding in Venice Beach by sunset ;-)
