Snow showers across the mountains at the Tejon Pass and Grapevine portion of Interstate 5 caused slick conditions this morning.

Travelers are advised to avoid the pass until later on Monday.    

According to the National Weather Service, the snow levels are staying around 3,500 feet.

Residents in Frazier Park said they are glad the freeway stayed open, although they are disappointed the storm didn't bring more snow the area.

"Usually we get a lot more snow and some businesses aren't doing very well since they rely on the snow to stay afloat," Estefanie Guerrero, Frazier Park resident.

Business owners say it is early in the season and they are hoping they will get more storms soon.

Other areas at lower elevations where snowfall isn't as common also received a healthy dose of powder from the storm. 

"It's weird weather but feels good to see the mountain white," said one resident in Antelope Valley. 

However, others had a love-hate relationship with the change in weather. 

"It's weird," said another resident. "I like it, but I don't like it. I like the rain and the possibility of snow."
