Ongoing blizzard pounds California's Sierra Nevada with heavy snow, dangerous winds
CBSN
Relentless snowfall and hurricane-force winds that pounded the Sierra Nevada mountain range across Northern California and parts of Nevada began to somewhat let up on Sunday, though blizzard warnings were set to remain effective through at least midnight in areas along the border between those two states.
Winter storm warnings were in effect Sunday for a much larger portion of Northern California, and meteorologists did not expect them to expire until early Wednesday morning.
Blizzard conditions were forecasted in regions that sit at higher elevations — at least 6,500 feet — in the Sierra Nevadas throughout Sunday. But meteorologists said that even areas as low as 4,000 feet above mean sea level should prepare to see between 1 and 2 feet of snow before the weekend wrapped up, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
