some of that snow and blow it around. that could move snow piles from one place to another. so just a heads up for that as you're heading out today. otherwise, new weather -- not a concern. 24 degrees in town, partly cloudy, 10 miles per hour. a very chilly start in some areas in the sierra between these readings. there can be some colder temperatures. teens and maybe even single digits, like at south lake, where it's 4 degrees. again, partly cloudy skies. new weather is not a concern, but the weather that already happened is really making for a tough commute out there this morning as a result of the snow and ice that's already on the rods. we're pretty quiet over the areas of the day today. just watching for a mix of sun and clouds and breezy conditions. perhaps some blowing snow; perhaps some windchill issues as well. heading into the tuesday, a couple of isolated showers possible. . not really looking for issues we saw over the week.
