BREAKING UPDATE: The 5 Freeway through the Grapevine is shut down in both directions due to snow and ice.
Snow falls in the Grapevine near Lebec, Calif. Feb. 23, 2022.
“They got about six plow trucks out, treated north and southbound from about Fort Tejon to about halfway down the hill,” CHP Officer Joe Phipps told CBSLA. “That allowed us to keep traffic moving slow, it kept the pavement pretty warm, but they monitor the temperature of the pavement to make sure it’s not getting to where we get icy conditions. But working with Caltrans, the public driving slow, we were able to keep it open.
“That big low pressure system that’s bringing us this very cold winter weather is still sitting overhead, is still pushing in some energy, and so we’re still going to continue to see a little bit more of this action, and the scattered showers this morning,” CBS2 Meteorologist Amber Lee said. “This will be the coldest storm that we have seen so far this winter season, with the potential for widespread snow/ice impacts across many of our lower elevation passes which could make for difficult travel with potential delays or road closures,” according to the National Weather Service.
