Hundreds of big-rigs were stranded in a snow-covered mountain pass north of Los Angeles

Overnight, the storm dumped nearly 7 inches of rain in some areas of Ventura County, and 4 inches or 5 inches elsewhere. Santa Barbara's airport got 4.16 inches of rain, breaking the record of 2.45 inches for the day set in 1943.

About an inch of rain fell in downtown Los Angeles, bringing the total for the rainy season to 7.09 inches and surpassing the average of 6.14 inches to date. However, the city had a long way to go in order to meet the average seasonal total of 15.14 inches for the season, which began on July 1 and runs through June 30.
