"LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- As many as 200 vehicles got stuck in deep  
snow early Saturday in the San Bernardino Mountains as the latest in a  
series of storms struck California.

Snow piled up 3 to 4 feet deep along a 15-mile stretch of state highway  
between the Snow Valley ski resort and Big Bear dam, said Tracey Martinez,  
a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County fire department.

'People were panicking and calling 911 on their cell phones,' Martinez  
said. 'It's going to take us awhile to get all the folks out of there.'"
