A fresh storm rolling into Southern California was bringing dangerous driving conditions to the Grapevine section of the 5 Freeway on Wednesday as Thanksgiving travel was picking up.
By 6 a.m., flurries had begun to fall along the roadway. Light snow is expected to continue in the area throughout the day, but forecasters say Thursday’s conditions will deteriorate, with snow levels dropping to 2,000 feet.
Heavy snow will likely close the mountain pass. So what’s the best way to avoid the Grapevine when weather interferes?The California Department of Transportation suggests taking the 101 Freeway as an alternative to the 5.For this storm, the 101 is generally the best of terrible alternatives when the Grapevine is closed by snow.
Travelers driving between the Bay Area and Los Angeles can take the 101 the entire way and avoid the 5 completely.The other possible detour, through the Mojave Desert, may not work for this storm because the weather service is forecasting snow falling in the Antelope Valley foothills, with a chance “there could even be accumulating snow on the valley floor” even there.
