Frigid storm to slam California: Blizzard warning for local mountains, snow at low elevations

LA Times  

Michel Martinez Morales steadies her sister, Melanie, as they play last week on a snowy roadside near Mt. “We are going to see low snow all the way from the Oregon border to the Mexican border — it’s just a question of how low.” Though snow is not expected to accumulate in major cities, hills near the San Francisco Bay Area and the high desert around Los Angeles could see snow by Wednesday or Thursday, at elevations that don’t typically see much, if any, Swain said. Heavy low elevation snow as well as numerous coastal hail showers will occur Tuesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon.https://t.co/RglzVDHhq4 pic.twitter.com/N3o1Zx2SfX — NWS Eureka February 20, 2023 “All of the major coastal mountain peaks in the Bay Area will likely see snow — potentially significant snow,” Swain said. But the most substantial accumulations are unusual.” Higher elevations, including areas along the Big Sur coast and the Santa Lucia Mountains, could see several inches, according to the National Weather Service, while the lower Sierra foothills could see accumulating snow in “very low places that don’t typically see snow,” Swain said. “Really, the only place in California that’s going to see snow levels not get much below 2,000 feet is going to be right down near San Diego — but that’s still really low.” Even if lower elevations don’t see much snowfall, Swain said, frozen precipitation is likely, including small hail or graupel, a type of crystal than can look like snowflakes.
