A powerful blizzard that closed highways and ski resorts had moved through the Sierra Nevada but forecasters warned that more snow was on the way.
BROOKE HESS and CHRISTOPHER WEBERA powerful blizzard that closed highways and ski resorts had moved through the Sierra Nevada by early Monday, but forecasters warned that more snow was on the way for the Northern California mountains.
The last blizzard warnings expired before dawn Monday, leaving a few light Sierra showers, but winter storm warnings were issued for a new, less powerful system due to arrive later in the day and last into Tuesday night, the National Weather Service said.Blizzard conditions bring 'snowmageddon' to Sierra
By Sunday night, Pacific Gas & Electric had restored electricity to all but about 4,400 Northern California customers, while NV Energy had reduced its outages to roughly 1,000 homes and businesses across the state line in Nevada. Kevin Dupui, who lives in Truckee, just northwest of Lake Tahoe, said his snow blower broke, but it doesn't really matter because there's nowhere to put all the snow anyway. "We just move it around," he said Sunday.
"It was definitely a blizzard. And we woke up to a lot of snow yesterday and it never let up," Potvin said Sunday. Her neighbors were snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the streets. The storm began barreling into the region Thursday. A widespread blizzard warning covered a 300-mile stretch of the mountains.
