Southern California mountain communities got some snow overnight, which caused dangerous driving conditions and stranded some travelers trying to get off the mountain.
On Monday afternoon, drivers on the Angeles Crest Highway in Wrightwood were stuck in at least a 3-hour gridlock, sitting in standstill traffic.
"We have been stuck for three hours trying to get home, get ready for work tomorrow but we are not moving," said Juan Salazar from Pico Rivera. "We came to enjoy the snow... but this is a wreck, horrible." A powerful storm system is expected to arrive in Southern California Wednesday night, bringing up to six inches of rain in some areas and more snow in the mountains.Apart from the traffic nightmare, the snow also drew snowboarding and ski enthusiasts to local mountain resorts to hit the slopes for the first time in 2023.
