Driving around town, I had the chance to speak with some of the locals. I spoke with John Sherritt, a Tehachapi resident. Shoveling his driveway, he tells me it's just one of the many things he does to prepare. “If you wouldn't have to get outside I wouldn't go outside, there's no reason to come out here and get on the roads, stuff like that, you always want to make sure you have a couple days of food prepped in case something weird happens.”
Living here since 1992, he tells me his only main concern is the plumbing in his house. He tells me when conditions start to get under 20 degrees, he makes sure to cover his pipes.
Live tag As of right now conditions are (describe conditions) and they're expected to worsen.
