A late winter storm is currently slamming parts of California, particularly the Sierra Nevada mountains, with severe weather conditions. More than three feet of snow has already fallen in some areas, with blizzard conditions causing reduced visibility on roads, power outages, and hurricane-force winds exceeding 75 miles per hour. Mammoth Mountain experienced winds reaching up to 100 miles per hour on Saturday.
Winter weather alerts have been issued for six million people in the region, with tens of thousands currently without power. Sections of Interstate 80 have been closed due to the extreme conditions, and the closure is expected to remain in effect until further notice.
