I lost track of the date, but knew it would rain this weekend. It ALWAYS!!! rains on the WinterNationals in Pomona, even though they moved it to the fourth weekend of Spring.
FOG-FOGGY CONDITIONS RUNNING SPRINGS 31230 HIGHWAY 18 9:42PM [2] MESSAGE DELIVERED TO CALTRANS 9:42PM [1] 101-32 FOG ADVISORY F/ SNOW VALLEY TO BIG BEAR DAM
I second the warning for motorcyclists. I have ridden it and it is exactly as you describe. This was on a Sunday evening after a weekend of traffic, too. That dirt and sand is very slippery on two wheels. You have to slow it way down and keep it upright on many corners you'd otherwise normally lean into. Some of those that come through thinking and riding like they do on Angeles Crest should heed warning. The winds always bring more rocks down and create little dirt devils you can't see through, too. Slow down and enjoy the ride.
=Moderate 
=Heavy Traffic
