On Sunday, Feb. 4 Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency for Southern California including eight local counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino.
As the anticipated storm made its way to the Golden State, residents in Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire took to social media to share photos and videos of weather updates.
