Another set of storms is set to hit this weekend, contributing to the state's epic snowpack — and its sketchy travel conditions.
The Innovative Approach That Has Some California Reservoirs Capturing More Of This Stormwater For DroughtThe second storm will be colder, said NWS meteorologist Alex Tardy, with snow expected at around 4,000 feet. That means the Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains and much of the road to Big Bear and surrounding ski resorts are likely to be snowy — and, Tardy said, both storms are expected to hit hardest in the evening, which makes driving more dangerous.
"If someone drives up to the mountain at 9 a.m. Saturday, everything's good, right?" Tardy said."They leave the mountain at 6 p.m. Saturday, and it's not good because the snow is starting to accumulate in the upper elevations and it's getting slippery.”Close to half of the 19 fatalities recorded statewide during the recent storms involved people in vehicles, according to California Highway Patrol Acting Commissioner Sean Duryee, who also spoke at the news conference.
"As drivers, as motorists, we tend to become complacent," Duryee said, warning that roadway conditions are"always changing. We've seen large sinkholes, we've had mudslides, rockslides, trees down, power lines down." This amazing aerial video shows one of the many reasons State Route 33 is closed in both directions from Lomita Ave. in Ojai to the Ozena Fire Station in Los Padres Nat'l Forest. Closed until further notice to repair substantial storm damage.
