Frazier Park, Pine Mountain, Cuddy Valley, CA and Frazier Mountain Community (Monday, Feb.. 21, 2022 at noon )—Motorists: Be alert.  Winter is not giving up without a fight.  Poppies are starting to carpet hillsides south of the Grapevine, with occasional days tipping into the 60s-70s last week, but Presidents’ Day Monday brought gusty winds and temperatures plummeting below freezing. Snow flurries are likely by Tuesday and Wednesday. MOTORISTS: There is still black ice from the snows of two weeks ago hiding in curving mountain roads covered by shadow. Drive slowly. These areas are just as treacherous, with motorists still losing control and skidding on the ‘S’ curves on Mil Potrero Highway and of some Pine Mountain, Pinon Pines and Lake of the Woods roads.  Here is the National Weather Service forecast for the week:
