Heavy snow fell in the Sierra Nevada while downpours triggered flood watches Sunday across large swaths of California into Nevada.
Link copiedSOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Heavy snow fell in the Sierra Nevada as a winter storm packing powerful winds sent ski lift chairs swinging and closed mountain highways while downpours at lower elevations triggered flood watches Sunday across large swaths of California into Nevada.
To the south, Mammoth Mountain reported that more than 20 inches of snow fell Saturday, with another 2 feet possible on Sunday as the tail end of the system moves through the eastern Sierra. The U.S. Forest Service issued an avalanche warning for the backcountry in the mountains west of Lake Tahoe where it said “several feet of new snow and strong winds will result in dangerous avalanche conditions.”Gusts up to 50 mph that sent trees into homes in Sonoma County north of San Francisco on Saturday could reach 100 mph over Sierra ridgetops on Sunday, the National Weather Service said.
