Caltrans has closed Interstate 5 at the Grapevine for the second time this week, this time due to hazardous winter weather conditions including snow and ice. The agency labeled this closure 'Operation Snowflake' and indicated it would remain in effect until the road is clear of these hazards. Drivers have been advised to use U.S. 101 as a detour. The closure stems from snowfall observed in the area, with the California Highway Patrol noting dangerous road conditions. Caltrans is actively working to reopen the section, although no timeline has been given for when that might occur.
