Big Bear Lake CA; A winter advisory remains in effect until 10:00 AM this morning. Winds may gust to 35 mph. Our overnight snowfall was eight inches and another foot of accumulation is possible. Road conditions are R2, if you’re vehicle is not 4 wheel drive, you’ll need to chain up.

Snow conditions are the best -Today is a Blue Bird Powder Day! The Resorts report eight inches off perfect powder on a huge base of snow. It doesn’t get any better than this. Come and shred the Southern California Mountains. We have better snow then the Vancouver Olympics.

Besides carrying chains in your vehicle, be sure to have plenty of water, food and warm clothing. Although the weather will be gorgeous this weekend, road conditions can cause unforeseeable events. Bring suntan lotion and sunglasses after today’s storm passes through.
