Powerful California blizzard shuts down roads and ski resorts

Northern California continued to face blizzard conditions throughout the weekend, experiencing damaging winds and heavy snowfall in mountainous areas extending down to the valleys.

The most severe weather conditions unfolded at the highest elevations in the mountains, characterized by whiteout conditions and hurricane-force winds.

Winter storm alerts persist across the majority of western states, with ongoing blizzard warnings for the northern and central Sierra Nevada until Monday morning.

The forecast predicts up to 1 foot of snowfall and gusts ranging from 45 to 75 mph, while peaks in the Sierra Nevada could still experience gusts of up to 90 mph.

Although the heaviest snowfall is expected to diminish across the West on Monday, intermittent rounds of moderate snowfall may continue in parts of the Intermountain West through Tuesday, potentially accumulating close to a foot.

While more winter weather alerts might be issued, the snowfall is not anticipated to be as substantial as witnessed over the weekend, CNN reported.
