After record snow in the San Bernardino mountains, rain has caused much of it to melt, with some flooding and rockslides.
Recent rainstorms in the San Bernardino Mountains brought both relief, melting much of the snow that had stranded some residents for weeks, and new problems, setting off minor flooding and rockslides.
Plowing the steep highways and streets that snake through the communities of Crestline and Lake Arrowhead was painstaking work. Some residents were effectively entombed in their houses due to impassable roads or towering snow berms that blocked their driveways.The Knorrs’ street was plowed once during the winter snowstorms, she said. Then rain from this week’s atmospheric river storm quickly melted much of what was left.
As much as 4.3 inches of rain had fallen on the slopes of the San Bernardino County mountains by Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service, and the storm had mostly cleared out by Thursday. Officials said there weren’t any major issues from the rains, despite concerns about much of the snowpack melting under the new rainfall.
Rockslides hit some roadways, Sherwin said, but most of the fallen rocks were quickly cleared by crews, never completely closing roads. The largest slide was along Highway 18 near Waterman Canyon Road, he said, though all were typical for storm conditions.
