These are the California roads and freeways closed due to winter storm

As a winter storm continued to lash California on Friday, several major freeways and roads were closed by the weather, including portions of Interstate 5.

The weather system, which is expected to continue through Saturday, has created dangerous driving conditions for residents in mountainous regions.

These are the roads and freeways in Southern California that have closed due to the storm:

• Interstate 5 was closed in both directions Friday morning through the Tejon Pass, according to the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans. Officials advised that drivers use U.S. 101 instead.
• Highway 138 by Palmdale between Highway 14 and the 5 was temporarily closed due to snow falling at low elevations.
