Atmospheric river eyeing snowbound regions of California, raising flooding fears

Lake Arrowhead, Calif. — After a blizzard swept through Southern California mountains, 79-year-old Alan Zagorsky found himself shut inside his home with snow blocking the door and stairways leading out.
He and his wife had enough food to get through the 10 days until volunteers finally arrived Wednesday to help clear roughly 10 feet of snow piled up outside their house in Lake Arrowhead. They'd been running low on blood pressure medication, but teams had come a day earlier to resupply them in the upscale mountain community where Zagorsky has lived for more than two decades.
"We've been through many a snowstorm but nothing of this amount, that's for sure," he said, while a crew shoveled his driveway in the mountains east of Los Angeles. "Right now, they're trying to find a place they can put this stuff."
