It’s not a term you ever hear in California, but meteorologists say a blizzard is headed to Tehachapi. City Manager Greg Garrett says the city is prepared…

He’s telling residents not to go out if you don’t have to, and keep an eye on your neighbor. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration defines a blizzard as “blowing and/or falling snow with winds of at least 35 mph, reducing visibility to a quarter of a mile or less for at least three hours.” The storm should last through Saturday night.
