Snow was expected to fall in the higher elevations, and the NWS warned that some could end up on the 5 Freeway/Grapevine.
Video from an independent journalist showed snow coming down at Big Bear Mountain Resort, a welcome sign for skiers and snowboarders across California.
Despite the significant rainfall over the past several hours that have engorged many local rivers and streams, there is currently no flood watch along the waterways for most of Los Angeles County.
The National Weather Service is urging residents to take extra caution when traveling during this storm. People should plan to give themselves more time to get to where they need to be. Drivers should leave early, drive slower and brake sooner.
