Heavy snow forces shutdown of Grapevine
LOS ANGELES - Snow, rain and hail are all expected to intensify over the Southland area Friday as a powerful winter storm gives the region a taste of weather normally reserved for more eastern reaches of the country.
"Travel should be restricted to emergencies only," according to the NWS."If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle." While the snow level dropped as low as 1,500 feet Thursday, it will increase to at least 2,000 feet by late Friday morning. A flood watch will also be in effect in Orange County, covering inland areas and the Santa Ana Mountains and foothills.
