After a dry and disappointing January, the storm system is delivering much-needed snowfall to higher elevations. Fresh powder is falling across mountain passes and Sierra resorts, offering a boost to an underperforming snow season.
Travelers from across the region welcomed the change.
Higher peaks and mountain passes could receive between 6 and 12 inches of snow, while some Sierra resorts may see 12 to 18 inches by the time the system moves out.
"Climate has changed. Thirty-five years ago, we didn't have the problem of not having enough snow, and now it's more difficult," said Michael Norreel of Santa Rosa.
"Mother Nature season-wide is still saying it's winter and given us finally that reminder again," said Jeremy Linder, a Public Information Officer with Caltrans. "For those drivers that are going to be headed up either the next couple of days or even over the weekend, just be prepared."
With additional storms possible next week and several feet of snow in the forecast, this system could mark the beginning of a significant shift in the Sierra's winter season.
