CHP officials advised traffic would be heavy as the road reopened and urged drivers to be patient and stay behind escorting CHP vehicles.

A storm made its way through Kern County on Friday dropping snow in the mountain communities and dropped snow levels to pass levels. Moderate to heavy snowfall has been reported through the Grapevine throughout parts of the day. Temperatures dropped to the low 30s in the Fort Tejon and Gorman areas.
