The San Bernardino Mountains were hit with another snowstorm this week, but it was far less severe than the 10 feet of snow some communities experienced during the February/early March blizzard. However, it still exceeded 15 inches in several communities.
County Public Works crews, who have been working non-stop since Monday morning, have been servicing County-maintained public roads and have cleared most of them in the majority of the county's snow-affected communities. They expect to make all County-maintained public roads passable, even those in the toughest-to-serve areas, within the next 48 hours.
Public Works has more than 100 pieces of snow equipment deployed in the mountains. Crews will continue to service and re-service roads during and after the storm. Residents should be aware that a snowplow not being visible on your street does not mean County crews are not out in full force. Plowing all county thoroughfares and roads takes time, and priority is given to main arteries. They will arrive.
The public can track the County's progress on the Snow Report Status Dashboard, which has been redesigned and updated for the current storm.
