SNOW ENDING! 34°F 6:30 AM Hey hey Giovanni here. Well that was fun! This storm delivered lots of low snow. I received 4" of snow in Nevada City while upper foothill areas received a lot more as expected cause spin outs and lots of accidents. I chained up my Prius and did not have any issues getting around. This storm has pretty much exited to the east except for a few remaining snow flurries over the western slope of the Sierra. Clearing is on the way, but please be careful driving this morning as there's still snow covered roads in and around town. Expect today's daytime highs in the low 40s with overnight lows in the low 30s.

The forecast is trending dry for this weekend as High pressure builds off the coast. However. Showers look likely Monday and Tuesday as a weak system pushes through. Snow levels will rise to 5500ft and precipitation amounts look to remain light. This off and on wet weather pattern looks to continue through next week, but none of these storms look very significant.

The long range forecast looks to bring us a dry weekend next week as it appears that the last couple of weeks of January may trend dry.
