I appreciate the answers on chains for Monday. We will have chains, if necessary, but appreciate the thoughts. The weather and road conditions are hard to predict. But those with experience have a good idea of the way it probably will be. Thank You and we will be ready one way or another.

Not with this storm, but hopefully this winter!

Per Caltrans: All Chain Restrictions have been lifted in the San Bernardino Mountains, however, you must always carry chains when travelling to the mountains in the winter months. For the latest road conditions visit socalmountains.com/roads

Interesting... SCM creates an auto link to text " Road Conditions" that I typed here in the chat (pretty cool)

Great news. They picked up a foot over yonder, got lucky with the storm. Our resorts are/were trying for this weekend too; more snow over this way would have helped! I don't think we'll see a foot, but maybe a few more inches!
bullet McToddy on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:46:38
Snowski.... Also check the Road Conditions page (link left margin and here [Click Here])

Right now, it shows that R2 restrictions just on Arctic Circle (between Snow Summit and the dam) so that's promising (versus R2 down the 330).... So check the Road Conditions page day of travel

I just heard on the TV news, KTLA, that Mtn. High will open tomorrow.
bullet SocalSnowMan on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:42:08
ALWAYS be ready to put chains on. Mine go into the vehicles around Oct. 1 and do not come out until after Memorial Day.
bullet Van on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:39:46
Monday morning looks fine I'm driving down the hill too. Just be aware of black ice in the mornings, late afternoons and evenings
bullet ⚡WX ALERT⚡ on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:38:28
Hey snowski, it's tough. Snow showers will be fairly scattered and tapering off tomorrow. But no, I think you'll be fine by Monday; you should not need the chains at that time. Of course, always be ready as conditions can change. But looks good for you at this moment.
bullet snowski on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:24:59
We are in Big Bear Lake
bullet snowski on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:24:08
Question We have to go down 18 and 330 about 7AM Monday. They are saying snow tonight and until Saturday afternoon. Those with experience on this, do you think we will need to have to put on chains with our 2wheel drive car? ANy insite helps.
bullet ⚡WX ALERT⚡ on Friday 21 November 2025 - 11:22:38
If we can set up a good wrap-around flow with this low, we should get some decent snow. But unfortunately, as Van pointed out, we're more in the center with the moisture swinging out and around us...
bullet AdironDak on Friday 21 November 2025 - 10:57:14
Hey Razz, id consider the Bird Streets to be from Thrush to Oriole, also including Eagle Point area.
Not much snow, like most of the valley, but we’ll keep eyes on the weather this evening!
bullet ⚡WX ALERT⚡ on Friday 21 November 2025 - 10:47:43
Oooo, in the eye of the storm! That could only mean one thing.

Reporting 3-6" up at the resorts. 3" being closer to the base, 6" up top! And snowmaking will continue as weather permits!
bullet Airport Razz on Friday 21 November 2025 - 09:10:07
AdironDak. Just for clarification, what consists of the 'bird streets'? Eagle Point area??
bullet AdironDak on Friday 21 November 2025 - 09:04:08
Bird Streets Report: .5” of wet and heavy snow that froze overnight. Wonder how higher elevations did

bullet Doggie Daddy on Friday 21 November 2025 - 08:08:41
A couple inches in Poet's Corner.

About .5" in Sugarloaf. Trees look nice. Sun's coming through the trees.

Sorry, was doing an upgrade for increased server load.

Thx peeps for the reports. More info the better.

Also, it Looks like Bensweather is offline (due to power outage?)
bullet Applenut on Friday 21 November 2025 - 07:35:53
In Erwin got about an inch of wet, heavy snow that partially melted then froze to solid ice. Roads are a perfect bobsled run, super slick.

Probably a skating rink. lol
