As a new storm rolls in, San Bernardino Mountain residents hustle to clear snow from their property and roads while the skies are still clear.
After weeks of historic snowfalls that buried parts of the San Bernardino Mountains in up to 100 inches of snow, residents have only now started to clear roads, reopen businesses, run errands and get in touch with snowbound neighbors.
In the mountain community of Crestline, Amber Dickey, 37, was busy earlier this week delivering groceries and running errands for her neighbors who still struggled to get out of their homes because of all the snow. But recovery efforts may be delayed by a new storm rolling in from Northern California, raising the risk of flooding in the mountain and foothill communities.
“I don’t really think the rains are going to create major issues for us. I think it’s going to help us, to be honest,” Eagen said.Others are not so optimistic. Ivan Arnold, director of Operation Mountain Strong, a grassroots relief effort helping conduct search and rescues on the mountains, worries that the combination of heaps of snow and rain is going to be a recipe for disaster.
Travis Lett has been digging out snow from his 4-foot-deep swimming pool in Crestline for the last four days.“I’m almost finished so I can get down the hill for supplies and a generator,” Lett said Thursday. “I don’t have much time before we are trapped in the rainstorm.” But Zamora has not been able to get his truck out of the driveway. His street was plowed Monday and he can finally see the road.
“We weren’t caught off guard so much as it kind of was like with COVID. The feeling was it just kept going on,” Vallejos said.
