Heavy Snowstorm Buries Vehicles, Damages Homes Across San Bernardino Mountains
San Bernardino Mountains, CA – February 20 – Heavy snowfall continued overnight across the San Bernardino Mountains early Thursday morning, creating hazardous conditions and widespread storm-related damage throughout the region.
