Original post: From the California Department of Transportation:

U.S. 101 in Humboldt County is closed from Garberville at Sprowl Creek Road to Willits at Reynolds Highway in Mendocino County. A large number of trees, utility lines, snow, Big Rigs and disabled vehicles are in the roadway. We don’t have an estimated time of when that section of roadway will be reopened. Caltrans, CHP and many other partner agencies are actively working on clearing the roadway.
