So far, we've done great in our latest series of winter storms, with most locations receiving 8-12 inches of new snow, even localized amounts near 15 inches! Cold and windy today with scattered snow showers continuing, though we will get some nice breaks with highs in the lower 30s. Southwest winds 10-20 mph at times will push wind chill values to near zero, bundle up and travel safely out there! Our next storm will approach the area tonight with clouds and winds ramping back up. Snow will become heavy at times overnight as the snow level falls as low as 3,000 feet with lows in the teens. Strong southwest winds will also accompany this storm, with gusts to around 40 mph possible, making for treacherous travel in white-out conditions. Additional accumulations of 1-2 feet can be expected through the end of the week with snow showers continuing on Thursday as one last disturbance moves through the area. Skies will gradually clear on Friday with fair weather returning over the weekend. Additional storms are possible next week but the details are unknown at this time, a quick glance shows potentially higher snow levels with the storm on Monday. If you have travel plans this week in the mountains, be prepared for dangerous driving conditions in near white-out and blizzard-like conditions and always carry chains! R2 restrictions are currently in effect on all mountain roads at this time. For the most up-t- date chain restriction information, check socalmountains.com (click here)
