As reported by the Town Crier’s “Web Alert”:

Right now, big, fat snowflakes are falling on Idyllwild. The snow started this morning at 7 a.m.. It is now 8:29 a.m.

The National Weather Service is calling for accumulations of about one inch per hour. Topping off at about 12-14 inches by tonight. Then one to three inches overnight. Tuesday is predicted to be mostly cloudy in the morning, becoming partly cloudy. Showers likely, but the storm should be tapering off.

CalTrans is reporting no traffic restrictions on either Highway 243 through Idyllwild or Highway 74 to Palm Desert and Hemet. But that will probably change soon.
