Residents living in communities in the San Gabriel Mountains went out of their way to help each other through another day of brutal winter weather as the area saw more rain and snow. abc7sid shares more from the Wrightwood area.
Forecasters said the mountains could expect moderate snow through Tuesday afternoon, becoming heavy at times late Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. Snow totals of 8 to 16 inches are anticipated with local amounts to 24 inches, highest in the eastern San Gabriel mountains.
"It's been a couple days ... they can't get out," said Moni Plank of Phelan, who was helping out a friend in need of food and supplies for her newborn and toddler. "It's not something you didn't prepare for. They prepared for it but it's just more snow than was expected - way more snow." Down the road in Phelan and Piñon Hills, the high desert communities were blanketed with at least a foot of snow, forcing schools to close.
The roads are mostly clear, but road closures are a problem for Ronald Patterson. He runs a plumbing company and his crews couldn't get into Wrightwood Monday to answer all the calls for service.
