More than a foot of snow fell on Idyllwild and throughout the Hill yesterday and last night. Cal Trans and the county have plowed and cleared most of the roads. A photo of N. Circle looking at the Fort is below.

Neither Cal Trans nor CHP are reporting any road closures this morning.

Although Idyllwild roads are cleared, the compressed and compacted snow has formed an icy surface. Be cautious driving.

Updated 8:25 a.m. But there appear to be a spate of traffic accidents on St. Route 74 between Paradise Corners and Pinyon. CHP has reported one incident near Ribbonwood and another involving eight to 10 vehicles.
