Impacts ranged from fallen trees, downed power and phone lines, with widespread and extended outages, treacherous driving conditions including chain controls and extended highway closures due to wind and/or snow, multiple accidents and spin outs due to snow, damaged property due to snow and wind. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in 20 California counties due to the impacts from the series of storms.

Heavy snow fell over the mountains and extended down into lower elevations, causing widespread travel problems and road closures. Thunderstorms brought heavy rain and small hail with widespread road flooding. Gusty winds brought down trees and caused power outages.
A wet storm brought thunderstorms with heavy rain creating large puddles on roads and minor urban flooding, especially over portions of the northern Sacramento Valley and northeast foothills.

A second wave came through Thursday evening, November 29th through Friday, November 30th, bringing heavier rain and more snow to the highest elevations above 7000 ft. The third wave came through Saturday evening December 1st through Sunday, December 2nd, bringing periods of moderate to heavy rainfall, flooding from overly saturated grounds and high river/stream water levels, and snow above 7000 ft.

Winds were reported to reach as high as 60-70 mph in the valley/foothill region, and over 100 mph in the mountains.
The remnants of Super Typhoon Melor from the western Pacific Ocean combined with a Canadian upper level low pressure system to form a strong storm over Northern California. Numerous trees and large branches were knocked down, causing damage to cars, homes, and power lines which resulted in the loss of power to thousands of customers. Heavy rain caused minor flooding on roads and in small streams.
A series of powerful but warm winter storms brought heavy rainfall to Northern California during a five day period. Five day rainfall totals in the Northern Mountains included: Girard 12.65", Hillcrest 9.94", Lakeshore 8.76", and Shasta Dam 7.31".

On the 24th, Sacramento easily established a new daily precipitation record with 3.11 inches. The previous record for the date was 1.76 inches.

Power Outage FAQs
What is Power Outage?
Power outage (also called a power cut, a power blackout, power failure or a blackout) is a short-term or a long-term loss of the electric power to a particular area.
What Causes Power Outages?
- Severe weather (high winds, lightning, winter storms, heat waves, rain or flooding can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
- Other damage to electric transmission lines (vehicle accidents, trees, and animals can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
- Repairing, maintenance or upgrades on power lines and equipment.
What are the Top Outage Safety Tips?
- Stay away from the downed power lines, park vehicles in protected areas;
- Unplug appliances and electronics, limit cell phone use to conserve battery life;
- Use portable generators outdoors only, well away from open windows and doors;
- Pack perishable foods into a cooler, keep refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible.
