'A shameful situation': Angry mountain residents trapped by snow ask why help took so long

Kadyn Wheat, 14, on Tuesday shovels snow to free the family car that is entombed in the driveway after successive snow storms paralyzed the San Bernardino Mountain community. “Hindsight is always 2020,” San Bernardino County Chief Executive Leonard Hernandez said during a recent video briefing. Adam Roser, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in the San Diego office, said there was “proper warning” even before a blizzard warning was issued. There was also a winter storm warning issued before the blizzard warning had gone out. That's not to mention the challenge of where to put plowed snow — which officials said has become an ongoing problem.
