    Got a very excited phone call from my daughter about 1300 California time. Said it is snowing in Ridgecrest! Frankly, I hope it stays out that way . . .

    CHP is now ESCORTING over Tehachapi... next step is closing it... if you absolutely MUST get over it, you'd best get moving.. but you're better off to wait it out.

    Boy, and to think we lost over 2 feet of snow the past couple of days from the warm weather and rain. Now we just have a lot of white left all over the place.

    If your in LA you can take 101 north to 166 take it back east if you really have to get there. 5/14/58 is a gamble at the moment. As for me Im going to enjoy the snow.

    101 and 166 are both open and clear at this moment.

    Grapevine is still closed.

    58 is now open... but with 100% chance of snow in Tehachapi overnight, I don't think that will hold.

    It figures,I am heading that way tomorrow.
    I've been in snow and ice for weeks and was excited to get sent to LA where I can get away from the cold for a while,just my luck.
    :biggrin_25511:

    I froze my arse off out in Sparks Nevada last night,cruised over Donner this afternoon and it was clear but cold and now snow in LA geeze I can't win.
