Southern California Snow-Covered I-5 Through Grapevine Re-Opens

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Officials say all lanes of Interstate 5 in the Grapevine area north of Los Angeles have been re-opened.

The California Highway Patrol is escorting motorists through the snow on both northbound and southbound lanes.

The snow-covered highway was closed for several hours in both directions on New Year's Eve.

The National Weather Service says between 3 and 6 inches of snow are forecast for the Grapevine and other high areas in Kern County.
