Emergency vehicles and Caltrans workers were seen driving along the Grapevine Saturday morning, ensuring drivers were safe on the slick roadways.

Drivers in Lebec were preparing for the snow Friday night, placing loads in the back of their vehicles to help steady it.

"That helps to add more weight, and just helps it to grab," said Frank Stark, who had heavy trees branches in the bed of his truck. "It's not gonna help you from fishtailing if you're going too fast or anything like that."
