Episodes
A series of strong winter storms moved across northern California Friday through Monday. Storms just a few days earlier had area small creeks and streams running high. Moisture from these storms resulted in numerous areas of low land flooding, small creek and stream flooding and main stem rivers getting high enough to flow over Weirs, that are part of the flood control system in the Northern Valley. This made local news as it was the first time in 4 years that the Weirs flowed since CA drought began back in 2012. There were also breezy to gusty winds with this system that resulted in power outages from downed trees and power lines. Wet slushy snow over the Sierra Nevada passes resulted in numerous slow downs and delays from slide offs and other accidents. A CHP officer was fatally injured when he was struck by a vehicle that lost control on the slick roads.
Strong Winds caused large numbers of power outages. A majority of these outages were along the Sierra Nevada foothills. Snow up to 12 to 17 inches fell in the Sierra, causing a period of travel difficulties over Sierra passes.
A strong cold front produced thunderstorms with hail and powerful, damaging winds. Snow in the mountains caused moderate travel impacts.
