A powerful storm hits Nevada County, causing chaos with rain, wind, and power outages. The storm brought up to 2 inches of rain within a 24-hour period, along with near-freezing temperatures expected for the next week. Valley and foothill temperatures are forecasted to be below 32°F with mountain temperatures potentially dropping below 15°F. The next weather system is on the way, with snow expected for lower elevations by next week. Snow levels will range from 1500-3000 ft in Shasta County/southern Cascades and 2000-3000 ft in the Sierra. There is a high probability of snow amounts greater than 12 inches above 5000 ft in the Sierra. While confidence for snow in the foothills is currently low, there is still a chance of 1 inch of snow above 1500 ft. The National Weather Service warns of dangerous driving conditions and advises residents to prepare for cold temperatures and potential snowfall in the coming days.
