A series of Pacific storms moved across California and brought periods of rain, scattered thunderstorms, heavy mountain snow, and gusty winds to northern California. Several feet of snow was reported across the Sierra which lead to significant travel impacts. Heavy rain and thunderstorms also caused travel impacts as area roadways became flooded and localized mudslides occurred. Gusty winds downed some trees and power lines.
