Residents in the San Bernardino mountain communities are still trapped and in need of aid after receiving an additional 4 to 5 feet of snowfall Tuesday night.
San Bernardino County has declared a state of emergency after receiving an additional 4 to 5 feet of snow Tuesday night, leaving highways unsafe and residents in the mountain communities trapped.
With the additional snow Tuesday night, crews were out clearing roads and highways again in the badly hit county. "This storm is unprecedented. Our National Weather Service said they issue out different levels of warnings. The highest is blizzard, and they've only issued that once. Which is this storm," said Brendon Biggs, the county's public works supervisor. "This storm covered the entire mountain range, from Wrightwood all the way over to Forest Falls with the heavy amount of snow that you see.
The state of emergency will allow San Bernardino County to more easily request additional resources, officials said.
