Earlier today San Bernardino County authorities held a press conference because many residents are frustrated by a lack of response to snow cleanup.
San Bernardino County grew frustrated as they remain trapped in their homes and vacation rentals due to a series of winter storms.
On Monday, San Bernardino County declared a local emergency after a powerful storm dumped feet of snow on mountain communities over the weekend. On Wednesday, a new system brought heavy snowfall into the area.
The state of emergency declaration asks state and federal agencies for help to clear snow from mountain highways and neighborhood streets.
On Tuesday evening, eligible Big Bear residents were temporarily allowed to drive through Highway 18 through Lucerne Valley with Caltrans escorts. However, the escorts were canceled by Wednesday morning due to the snowy conditions and officials deemed the roadway unsafe for travel.
San Bernardino County officials said crews have been working around the block to plow county roads as quickly as possible and are prioritizing primary roads to create access from state highways.
