Reprieve was on the way as the mountain community continued to dig out, with much of California expecting drier weather over the weekend. About 80,000 people live either part- or full-time in the communities affected, said David Wert, a county spokesman. The San Bernardino Mountains are a major tourism and recreation destination but also home to a large year-round population in small cities and communities around lakes and scattered along winding roads. The county has set up a hotline for residents dealing with issues like frozen pipes, roof problems and food shortages. “There are other businesses that will likely be affected by the weight of the snow.” “We know that roofs are starting to collapse,” she said. Officials raced to salvage food that residents sorely need from its shelves. In Crestline, the entire roof of Goodwin and Sons Market collapsed as safety inspectors were onsite checking up on reported damage.
