Where to find the latest information

Some resources to make sure you have the most up-to-date information:
Our latest big winter storm is behind us and it definitely left an impression — as of Sunday morning some 53,000 customers remain without power in L.A. and many major roads remain closed to traffic.
This storm brought L.A. County’s coastal and valley areas anywhere from 3 to 8 inches of rain. The snow totals were significantly higher. Mountain High got more than 80 inches of snowfall. Mount Wilson got almost 40 inches. Frazier Park, near the Grapevine, got between 20 and 25 inches.
Rich Thompson with the National Weather Service says these snow amounts, especially the ones at low elevations, are unheard of.
“In terms of widespread low elevation snow, like we saw, it’s the most impressive that I’ve seen in my career out here in Southern California,” Thompson said, “so definitely was not your run of the mill winter storm for Southern California.”
Don’t be tempted to go and see the snow for yourself, though — almost all mountain freeways in the area are still closed.
