County Storm Response

A snow blower clears the roadway along Straight Way, near Wildrose Lane in Crestline on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

San Bernardino County is coordinating efforts to bring services to mountain residents affected by record-setting winter weather as roads reopen.

You can track the County’s snow removal efforts and find links to the many services the County is providing to mountain residents and businesses on our snow information website.

Road-clearing crews have made significant progress in their efforts to get vehicles back on San Bernardino County mountain roadways.   

Highway (Hwy) 18 between Lucerne Valley and Big Bear was opened to all vehicle traffic on Tuesday. Drivers are urged to exercise caution in all areas of Hwy 18 and Hwy 330 as snow removal and mitigation is ongoing. Additional mountain roadways are open to residents only as crews continue around-the-clock work to clear snow from the road. 

For the latest road conditions, visit the San Bernardino County road closure map and Caltrans.

Keep gas meters free of snow and ice

Mountain residents are urged to clear snow and ice away from gas meters with a broom or a brush, if it is safe to do so. San Bernardino County Fire and SoCalGas crews are responding to calls of natural gas leaks throughout the storm-struck mountain communities. 

Fire officials warn that gas meters may be damaged under the weight of heavy snowfall and ice.  A gas leak may occur if that weight forces a gas meter to separate from a building.

If you suspect a natural gas leak, evacuate immediately and call the fire department or SoCalGas® at 1-800-427-2200.
