Much of California’s southern mountain region is under an unprecedented blizzard warning—the first in over three decades—until Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service announced Feb. 23.

Mountains in several counties—Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, and Santa Barbara—fell within the weather service’s blizzard advisory, with “heavy snow, winds gusting up to 80 mph, and near zero visibility” expected in Los Angeles and Ventura County Mountains on Thursday.
