Snowfall surrounds businesses in Crestline, Calif., Friday, March 3, 2023, following a huge snowfall that buried homes and businesses. LOS ANGELES — — Residents of Southern California mountain towns have continued to struggle to dig out and get necessities in the aftermath of a blizzard last month that dumped so much snow that roads became impassable and roofs collapsed.
Pablo Tello, another Crestline resident, picked up a replacement for a broken shovel so he could get back to helping dig snow away from homes, with special attention to buried gas lines that have been linked to several fires. Both mountain ranges routinely have winter snowfalls, but what looked like the foundation for epic downhill ski days instead became a nightmare.SNOWED IN
Roof collapses due to the weight of snow were reported, including a grocery store in the community of Crestline.Authorities began bringing in more snow removal equipment, organized convoys of grocery trucks, set up distribution centers and requested donations of nonperishable foods, water and general supplies.
“We have to climb over 10-foot snow berms and carry them through deep snow down 60-foot driveways. It is exhausting,” Braggins said.
