Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the massive Southern California storm
Rain, snow, hail and wind:on the greater Los Angeles area starting last Wednesday.
This was the first blizzard warning for Southern California’s mountains in decades, and some mountain towns were buried in, quite literally, feet of snow. Locals used to sunny skies most of the year reveled in the snow drifts landing on their lawns in the foothills and in parts of the Inland Empire over the weekend.
Others took stock of the damage so far: Trees and power lines toppled, cars and houses crushed under branches, and sporadic flooding on city streets. With more rain and snow on the way in a second set of storms, the National Weather Service added up the precipitation totals from Wednesday to Sunday morning.
The numbers were a preliminary summary of what the region saw over that period; estimates of snow and rain from some areas still ranged widely as of Sunday. But these are the latest totals from local weather watchers. All figures are measured in inches and from locations where the NWS has recording stations.Mount Pinos: 48 to 72
