We may be getting a refreshing dose of rain this morning--the first of two storms--but out in San Bernardino County, it's a snow day (!!!) for kids at one of seven schools in the Rim of the World Unified School District. As for chances of snow seen in Los Angeles, levels could drop to as low as 1,500 feet.
As for the rest of the day, this is not the heaviest of rains predicted, which are expected either this afternoon or early evening. And that means.... crashes and traffic. Between 5 and 6 a.m. today, 24 collisions had been reported to the California Highway Patrol.
