The National Weather Service in Hanford issued a Winter Storm Warning through Monday night for the Kern County mountain passes.
Drivers are encouraged to check road conditions before traveling. For more information, call 1-800-427-ROAD.
Caltrans officials also shut down State Route 58 through Tehachapi Pass due to snow, ice and heavy winds earlier Monday, but the eastbound lanes have since reopened. CHP officers are also pacing traffic on the highway.

A winter storm warning was also issued for Ventura and Los Angeles county mountains for Sunday night. Forecasters said blowing snow and icy roads could lead to road closures, including travel along Interstate 5 over the Grapevine.
Forecasters at the Sacramento-area weather office anticipated an abundance of snow in the Sierra Nevada between late Tuesday and Friday that may make travel through the mountains "very difficult to impossible."
The next storm was also expected to bring heavy rain and mountain snow to northern and central portions of the state.
More than 95% of California has been experiencing drought conditions and the remainder is abnormally dry, the U.S. Drought Monitor reported in its weekly update Thursday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
