Interstate 5 Closed do to Snow and Ice


The CHP closed Interstate 5 last night do to snow and ice along the Grapevine stranding motorists for several hours. County and State snow plows worked around the clock to help open the freeway. CHP had to escort vehicles through the pass until noon today until black ice melted along the highway. Another winter storm is predicted for late Wednesday and Thursday. The new storm is to bring much higher amounts of rainfall to the region creating the need for evacuations in areas of the Station Wildfire area surrounding the Angeles National Forest do to the possibilities of mud slides.
