A powerful storm is expected to bring rain and cooler temperatures to California on Thanksgiving.
In Los Angeles County, motorists had a rain-slicked morning commute. Snow fell along the 5 Freeway through the Grapevine. The Los Angeles River swelled, trapping a man in a thicket of trees near Atwater Village and forcing swift-water rescuers with the Los Angeles Fire Department to come to his aid.
Vehicles somewhere north of Valenzuela had blocked the interstate. She turned her car on every half-hour, just enough to warm it, then turned it off. Her gas ran low. Then the snow started “a little blizzard,” she said.She saw children crying and elderly people stranded. As the sun rose, she and other motorists hiked a mile though deep snow to a gas station, where she bought a gallon of water, dumped it and filled the container with gasoline.
In Southern California on Wednesday, the McDonald’s parking lot just off the 5 Freeway in Gorman had families stopping to play in the snow. This year, some East Coasters who hoped for a sunny California Thanksgiving said they should have just stayed home. “We went outside and saw that it had literally tacoed itself,” Baird said. “It’s nothing disastrous. It didn’t put anybody out of business. It’s just — what do you call it — ugly curb appeal.”
