The National Weather Service warned of a “cold and dangerous winter storm” that began Thursday and was expected to linger through Saturday in California. As much as 5 feet (1.5 meters) of snow could fall in some mountains near Los Angeles, potentially creating whiteout conditions as winds gust to 75 mph (120 kph) and an increased risk of avalanches, forecasters said.
The weather service issued rare blizzard warnings for Southern California mountain areas and urged drivers to avoid dangerous roads, according to AP.
