A powerful winter storm has swept through Northern California, bringing heavy snowfall and strong winds that are expected to continue until Friday. The storm, which began impacting the region on Wednesday, has prompted warnings from local authorities to avoid mountain travel due to hazardous conditions.

According to CapRadio, the storm is set to deliver up to several feet of snow in higher elevations, with significant accumulations expected in the Sierra Nevada. KCRA reports that alongside the snow, the storm is bringing rain to lower elevations, potentially leading to flooding in some areas.
