The wider storm

Following the very wet first three quarters of February, the last few days saw cold, showery systems move through the region from February 24th to the 28th. Light mountain snow was reported but nothing too significant. The primary impacts were more rock and land slides caused by freezing and thawing of water in the cracks of rocks along roadways.

Began near Weitchpec (41.1943, -123.6772).
