Sheriff to Lake Arrowhead residents: 'We're going to dig you out, and we are coming.'
Access is restricted to residents and emergency crews, the sheriff's office said. San Bernardino County declared a state of emergency as communities remain buried and historic snowfall shut down roads into the mountains, leaving some areas running low on gas, food and supplies.
"We are working to address public safety and to assess winter storm damages," said Forest Supervisor Danelle D. Harrison."Due to limited access and deteriorating conditions, it will be several weeks before the Forest is fully operational. With communities dealing with lack of power and lack of resources, visiting these mountain communities puts additional pressure on already scarce resources.”Roads that are open remain unsafe for travel in many areas.
It could take more than a week to reach some areas walled off by snow, said Dawn Rowe, chair of the county’s board of supervisors. Residents are dealing with as much as 7 feet of snow in some areas.
