ORIGINAL STORY: The Grapevine area of I-5 is closed due to snow, Caltrans officials announced Wednesday morning.

A section of the interstate which runs from Kern County to Los Angeles County is closed after snow fell overnight.

Hwy 58 in Kern County is also closed for snow from Towerline Rd. to California City Blvd.

#Interstate5 and #StateRoute58 are now closed in the Grapevine area due to snow. There is no estimate for re-opening.
State Route 166 remains open as a detour. The closure means additional travelers on US 101 through the Central Coast. @PIOJimShivers https://t.co/N55e8uOwlk pic.twitter.com/ShhInwrRqE
