| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong, cold low pressure system dropped down the West Coast from the Gulf of Alaska and directly over southern California. This storm was accompanied by isolated thunderstorms with small hail, moderate rain showers west of the mountains, winter storm conditions in the mountains, and very strong wind gusts along and below the ridges and desert slopes. Most coast and valley locations received between one-quarter and three-quarters of an inch of rain, while some foothill locations received between 1.0 and 1.5 inches of rain. The very cold conditions led to significantly low snow levels down to 2000 feet, with accumulations as low as 2300 feet (Shelter Valley ��� San Diego County). Most locations above 4000 feet received 6 to 13 inches of snow with widespread chain control everywhere. The high desert received up to 3 inches of snow as well, down to 2900 feet, closing several schools and requiring CHP escorts on Interstate 15. The snow also resulted in numerous accidents, especially along Interstate 15, where the northbound lanes in the high desert were closed for a time due to the sheer number of incidents. Snow and accidents also temporarily closed Interstate 8 near the Crestwood Pass on the morning of the 20th. Mountain and foothill locations received an additional 1 to 3 inches of snow from the morning showers. A second, smaller disturbance behind this low brought some light showers to San Diego County on the afternoon of the 21st. Amounts ranged from a few hundredths to two-tenths of an inch, mostly in the valleys and foothills. |
