Snow, storms and gusty winds hit Southern California

A cold storm system is moving through Southern California that will deliver rain and snow through Sunday morning, along with potentially damaging winds. According to the National Weather Service, precipitation will be mostly light but long in duration.

Coastal areas and valleys in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties can expect 0.5 inch to 1 inch of rainfall, with up to 3 inches possible in the foothills and mountains. Snowfall amounts will vary based on elevation with 6-12 inches expected above 6,500 feet, 3-6 inches between 5,500-6,500 feet, 1-2 inches between 4,500-5,500 feet and a dusting of snow along the 5 Freeway through the Grapevine.

“Probably the biggest impact of this storm will be the wind,” the Weather Service said. “The strongest winds look over all mountains and interior valleys/deserts where downed trees, power outages, and hazardous driving conditions will be prevalent.”

Up to 8ft to 10ft of snow in Norcal. That should cover the season for 23-24 yr.

People taking kids up there to play in the snow, risking their lives! 😠 Yup, my parents use to do it all the time and now I'm doing the same. They close the roads but not the dangerous back routes hahaha
