| episode_narrative | A cold front sweeping through the San Bernardino and Riverside Mountains generated strong winds and heavy, wet snow in elevations above 6000 feet. Snow began falling during the early morning hours of the 22nd, and increased in intensity, along with the winds, until blizzard conditions were reported shortly after 7:00 AM. In the Big Bear Valley, 40 to 50 mph winds combined with heavy snow to snap trees and power lines, and cause severe visibility restrictions for several hours. By the early afternoon, the storm had diminished, leaving up to one half foot of snow in some areas. |
