Cars and trucks slid in lanes amid heavy snow that forced the closure of Interstate 5 in the Grapevine area between Los Angeles and the San Joaquin Valley. The National Weather Service extended flood warnings for Orange County even as advisories in Los Angeles and Ventura counties expired. The National Weather Service extended flood warnings and advisories into late morning as the storm intensified, dropping up to 1/3 of an inch of rain in a half-hour in some areas.
