Snow storm closes Grapevine in both directions

Snow has closed the Grapevine in both directions Friday.

The closure is at the Grapevine summit, and officials said they don’t know when Interstate 5 will reopen.

The National Weather Service said snow will drop to the 2,000-foot level, according to the L.A. Times.

“A cold storm system will push southward from the Gulf of Alaska across the forecast area today through tonight. Snow levels will plummet to 2000-3000 feet today.

Elevations above 4000 feet can expect between 6 and 10 inches of snow, with lesser amounts across the Santa Barbara mountains and lower elevations,” the weather service said in a statement.
