Snow Shuts Down Grapevine
That rain you're probably hearing here in L.A. means snow in the Grapevine, earlier than expected. It's come down there heavy enough to shut down the I-5.
UPDATE: All lanes of SB I-5 are now CLOSED at Grapevine Rd in Kern County. All lanes of NB I-5 are closed at Parker Rd in Castaic. https://t.co/8iD2PQAR84

The forecast calls for rain through about 8 p.m. tonight. And tomorrow expect to see even more rain, rain again on Wednesday and Thursday. In case you wondered, yes, authorities are on watch for burn areas.
But by Friday, we should see sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s. Could be a good time to get out there — especially for the many, many people working from home — and take a solitary walk in the park and get out there.
