Winter storm strands many

Orange County maybe be comfortable with the mildly cool weather that greets us as we go into March, but large areas of California are up to their knees in snow, slush and disorder.

According to The New York Times, winter storm warnings are in effect from Saturday morning through Monday morning in northern parts of the state. The higher the elevation, the deeper the snow, in some cases up to four feet.

Even in Southern California, there’s been danger, with rescues needed for people trapped in the San Bernardino Mountains where snowfall piled up to 10 feet.

Some people – especially tourists in the Big Bear resort area – are snowed in without enough food, water or medicine. It’s difficult to flee down to lower and warmer climes, with roads impassable.
