A powerful storm system impacted Southern California, causing heavy snowfall especially in mountainous areas, which left many drivers stranded. The California Highway Patrol noted that around 18 vehicles had to be abandoned as drivers were unprepared, lacking proper chains or not adhering to speed regulations during chain control. Areas like Angelus Oaks and Running Springs received significant snowfall, reported at 9 inches, prompting Caltrans to declare ongoing chain control. However, meteorological reports suggest improvement is on the way with fairer weather anticipated for the weekend, allowing municipalities to clear roads more effectively.
Conditions are already improving. The municipalities are taking care of the snow on the roads. The weekend is gonna be fair weather, and it's gonna be warmer.
There were many abandoned vehicles last night, mainly on SR-18, but also 38 and the 138.
