(Interstate 8 is open)…The California Highway Patrol made the announcement at just after 10:00 am.

The Interstate had been closed since just after 3:00 Friday morning due to treacherous snow and ice conditions. The closure for westbound traffic was at Mountain Springs Grade, near In-Koh-Pah. Eastbound traffic had been stopped at Willows Road in Alpine. It took several hours to clear various collisions as well as the roadway, before the Interstate could be open to all traffic.
