Heavy snow falls in San Bernardino mountains amid winter storm warning – ABC7 Los Angeles

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) — The San Bernardino Mountains were blanketed in snow Sunday morning as the area remains under a winter storm warning.

The warning remains in effect until 4 p.m. Monday and covers areas such as Crestline, Wrightwood, Idyllwild-Paine Cove, Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, Big Bear City and Big Bear Lake.

Up to a foot of snow is expected at elevations above 5,000 feet and several inches at lower elevations.

It means it has been a difficult morning for many drivers in the area. During the night, plows were seen trying to clear the roadways. Conditions also reportedly affected a section of Highway 18 from Crestline to Big Bear.

The National Weather Service said driving this weekend could be “very difficult to impossible” and said hazardous conditions could affect travel Monday morning.

The California Highway Patrol is urging residents to stay off the roads until at least Monday afternoon if they can.
