  • What drivers will put up with to get to Bakersfield.

  • wow i remember tat every time we are going to mexico is like tat :( it sucks

  • They need to patch some of those holes that are on the grapevine.. some of them are pretty deep...

  • Wow! That was amazing. I was really surprised to see it snowing even as you were at the northern end of the grapevine descending down that massive canyon. I couldn't believe the traffic back up the southbound 5.

  • The state of California and thier infinite stupidity, have decided that iff the weather is bad enough to need chains on the Grapevine, they'll shut it down instead. That way, they don't have to do any repairs on the highway. Like they think there ISN'T any needed repairs allready!

  • So none of those thousands of cars had chains in the trunk, nor are their any chain staff on the road to assist with installation on that route. We also don’t use salt out here. Event the seasoned boston driver can’t drive over a mountain in a snowstorm with regular tires and no chains

  • californians dont use snow tires. Back east its a common routine every fall and spring to change out your tires for snow tires. Snow tires with mostly urban moderate snow on heavily traveled routes in new york and new england, which are well prepared for plowing, and where salt is used is a different situation than how we deal with snow out here. we use chain controls over moutain passes. Everyone is advised to carry chains but thats mainly over the sierra not in southern california.

  • Closing the road due to a little snow? PFFFTTHHH. How pathetic. Why don't you clowns grow a set?

  • I just got over the grapevine heading north when they closed the highway. At the bottom of the grapevine there was big dust devils that pelted the cars with sand and dirt that stuck to everything wet. That made it hard to see or get off the exit.

  • I was not that far behind the car that made this video. They closed the grapevine just as we approached its incline from the Los Angeles side.
