KCRA 3 has declared Saturday as an Impact Day in Northern California due to the wet weather affecting outdoor events and travel in the Valley and Sierra region. Rain showers were particularly heavy in the morning, with isolated thunderstorms a possibility later in the day. While the mountains received little rain, some parts of the valley accumulated nearly an inch by 8 p.m. Additionally, snow levels dropped to 4,000 feet with Sierra passes expecting 3 to 6 inches of snow by late afternoon.
On Sunday, lingering showers are expected, though not as intense as Saturday. Residents in Pollock Pines shared mixed reactions to the unexpected snowfall for this time of year. While some expressed frustration at the prolonged cold weather, others found the snow beautiful and refreshing. KCRA 3’s Orko Manna spoke with locals about their experiences, highlighting the diverse responses to the unseasonable conditions in the Sierra this Spring.
