Rich Anthes with the CHP's Fort Tejon office says the area is expecting a lot more snow "around 8 a.m."

He said the severity of the snowfall will determine whether or not the I-5 reopens.

"Right now, it's not feeling safe."

He said travelers on the I-5 have been cleared and the CHP and Caltrans are now working to clear people at rest stops and on side roads.


UPDATE (4:20 a.m.): Multiple big rigs have jack-knifed on Eastbound Highway 58 leading to closures.

The CHP reported multiple big rigs were stuck in the snow near the Tehachapi Loop around 3:15 a.m.

Jack knifed big rigs were reported about a half hour later.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the I-5 has been shut down between Grapevine Road and Highway 14.

A SigAlert shows that there is snow and ice on the road, leading to the shutdown.
