so and 4 wheel and you're right. the snow was coming down fast, covering roads and making travel dangerous. here on i-80 drivers heading into the mountains tonight are dealing with icy roads, chain controls and near whiteout conditions. the national weather service is warning drivers to stay off the roads saying conditions are dangerous and travel could become impossible in some areas. but for those who live up here, this kind of storm is just part of life in the sierra. i live in the during the summer than up in the land. is no ice. no word, obviously. so we live up here. >> get home. i left the for like. >> i don't know. couple days. >> and as he's piled the snow, as you can see here, his truck is coated with keep up with caltrans got checked. and so you're not stuck in a chain control and just closed road. >> this gives you an idea of just how much snow has piled up this freeway sign is almost

completely buried and with more snow expected on the way conditions are going to get worse. that's why officials are urging folks to stay off the roads while some travelers haven't had major issues on the road. others ran into unexpected problems, no complications driving, but our top kill up to the back. us know that so we had to fix up a little on the side. that's about it. this driver and his family are heading to reno to hit the slopes the and his advice for getting through this storm is simple. drive slow and drive safe. >> but to get there late than to not get there at >> and if you are going to be heading out to the sierras, make sure to check those road conditions and weather conditions before you head out in king ville, federal could kron 4 news. >> all right. let's say up there in the sierras. we're taking a look at i-80 near soda springs. still a lot of snow out there. looks like the plow trucks going to be busy for a while. let's check in now with our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow.

a point rough in the high country. that's for sure is that storm system still working its way through the sierra nevada, few beaded up there and you got a lot of snow to enjoy. but we're getting caught in that snow storm. you might be stuck out there for quite a while as the snow come down very heavily now across some of the mountain passes and really kind of ramped up this afternoon. but boy, it's stopping a ton of snow in the high country in the lake level. they may end up getting a foot and a half of snow by the time everything is said and done. and above that, we're talking maybe 4, maybe 6 feet snow, especially toward like mammoth lakes and 70 valley. so heavy snow moving it up there right now and they're going to sit there and see it all night long. it will taper off the showers as we head toward tomorrow. should be really beautiful day in tahoe tomorrow. you can see some showers occasionally the snow showers rotating on through that cold air in place. the snow level lowering again to about 5500 pc got snow lake level winter storm warnings, though, in effect, some very gusty winds, whiteout conditions at times in the high country and really all around all the way up the shaft into the sierra nevada

in the southern sierra nevada to some very heavy snow continuing to fall. something to watch out for to the national weather services issued avalanche warning across much of the sierra nevada, the great lake tahoe southward. we're seeing a lot of snowfall on top of some previous snowstorms. and so you start to develop these layers of snow on what will happen if your goal off in the back country. sometimes you get on some of these letters and there kind from some cold storm, some warm storm. so they have kind of difference between the 2 and they slide easily get on top of that. sometimes you can start avalanche. so you got to be really, really careful here as a ton of snow. a lot more coming overnight tonight. still, i think by tomorrow afternoon, you may just be able to sneak up there that snow in the morning and then giving way to some clearing skies and tell you what this weekend you're enjoying another beautiful weekend of powder on the slopes. if you want to head up there. but and dangerous all across the state. this really a statewide event, not just a bay area, northern california, and then, of course, southern

california. we've been watching that very closely in that area because that rain coming through on tops of the burn scar areas are really got going this afternoon. some of that rain rolling through very heavy as it moved on by was checking some of the rain totals there and some of the mountains in around los angeles, 6, 7 inches of rain. and there you go. that was very heavy band moving through downtown los angeles. couple inches of rain there looks like things will begin to taper off, but still, flood watches are posted, were worried about some debris flows. we may see more of that video as we head toward tomorrow for the south. that storm system sagging south now. so flood watches continuing there. and so, yeah, we're watching out for that very closely. as you've got to worry about that southern california seen so much rain on tap those burn scar areas and certainly that's not what we wanted to see. but it's been a rough day all across the state and southern california. no exception. yeah, for sure. i'm seeing some videos along the pacific coast highway and just. of those scots are just kind of sliding off they were under flash flood warnings this afternoon. they received some flash flooding. the

malibu area, the burn scars and so all across that are just just tough to get all that rain and you have burn scars for sure. alright, lawrence, thank you. you're welcome. all right. well, crews and officials in los angeles are prepared for potential mudslides, especially. >> as lawrence mentioned in those burn scar areas from the recent wildfires that just tore through that some evacuation orders were issued prompting residents to have to get out of there immediately during a news conference today, officials told residents to take evacuation orders seriously. there's still a lot of uncertainty in exactly what's going to play out. there's a large range of scenarios that extend from at least minor flooding and debris flows that are on the minor side, mudslides and rock slides all the way up to something significant or extreme occurring. lot of uncertainty exactly what plays out. so now is the time to be weather ready. now is the time to be thinking about what you do to protect your life and those of your loved ones. the

biggest area of concern right now is the palisades burn area where the hillsides are getting saturated with all of this rain. minor flooding has also been seen along the sunset burn scar in the hollywood hills eaton canyon and areas of the inland empire. >> it look out there. you see really good strong. probably 20 to 30 mile an hour winds. what it which is really nice if things within your limits. this is pushing the envelope out. >> certainly interesting back here in the bay area and a lot of people long, not everyone apparently was prompted by the windy weather today. this man taking advantage of the conditions to go windsurfing in marin county. those high winds are expected to continue tonight and could be stronger around those coastal areas. and even though some people are heading to the coast, the national weather service is advising people to not do this. along the coast. the surf is expected to get even stronger. tonight. officials calling for dangerous waves of around 30 feet along the

coast, making it dangerous, of course, to be in the water. and city leaders are urging people to take extreme caution. they're also telling us that they are prepared for the storm and have crews on standby back here in san francisco, the department of emergency management telling how they are going to be managing the storm. >> flood watch in effect through 10:00pm saturday. we're expecting 2 to 3 inches of rain in the forecast in san francisco through friday. we have a high wind warning in effect as well through tomorrow morning. we're expecting 35 to 40 mile per hour winds with gusts up to 70 miles per hour along the coast. it's very windy. >> officials are urging people to stay off of the roads. if you don't have to be out there tonight. but if you do take your time, drive slowly. well acute and while rescue for the california highway patrol officers rescued this sea lion pup last night from the candlestick park off-ramp.
