The next storm will be weaker than the one that hit over the last couple of days, the National Weather Service said.
Days of rain, hail and snow added up to an already “impressive” series of storms, as described by NWS forecasters, with snow totals measuring in feet, not inches. The highest elevation areas of communities like Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains and Running Springs in the San Bernardino Mountains were buried under 6 to 8 feet of snow over the weekend.
“It’s hard to imagine any more trees falling,” said Brian Humphrey, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department. Outside the city of L.A., by Sunday afternoon nearly 5,000 customers were without power across the rest of Southern California, according to Southern California Edison. “Crews worked much of Saturday through bad weather, but…we anticipate continued restoration in large numbers as the work progresses,” officials said in a statement.
