This one could be a good one. I would expect up around a half a foot, but it could setup as a nice backslider, in which case totals very well could be doubled across the Big Bear Valley... Very cold system too, snow levels could dip as low as 1,000-2,000 feet Wednesday night! Get Ready! FOLLOW @BENSWEATHER NOW ON TWITTER!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee benny thinks its gonna be big, that means it almost a guarantee hahah. Im praying for snow down here in the I.E! For Accurate Regional Forecast Go to:http://www.socalweather.net
Yeah doesn't look quite as impressive as it did yesterday, but a few inches or more is still not out of the question. Keep in mind it's due north of us, so it has to cross us as it digs south, and the potential for wrap around moisture to enhance snowfall totals looks good still. It's not cutting offshore by any means. FOLLOW @BENSWEATHER NOW ON TWITTER!

Allen< Thanks for the update on the roads. I will stay home. Hwy 18 to Lucerne has one way traffic, Hwy 38 has construction and one-way traffic. There will probavly be a head on collision on Hwy 330 and 18 closing the road for a day or so. Thanks to the geni at CALTRANS.
Sun Diego. The CNN report is correct and we here in Georgia are outraged. This LEO is a 7yr K9 handler and SUPPOSED to be responsible. The poor pooch was in the car in the LEO's driveway and not discovered til 9PM. Many of us are calling for his firing and animal cruelty charges filed. LEO is currently on "paid leave".
