The wider storm

A powerful, cold storm system with heavy snow and gusty winds sometimes brought dangerous driving with whiteout conditions. Snow amounts of 3 to 5 feet were reported in the mountains. Heavy snow fell down into the foothills impacting travel. Numerous schools were closed or had delays due to the snow. Gusty winds of 40-50 mph were recorded across the area, with gusts locally higher in the high elevations of the northern Sierra. The winds and low snow combined to cause dangerous travel conditions with an extended closure of Interstate 80.
