Wet System Produces Flurries Across The Sierra Nevada

The remnants of a soaking weekend storm moved across the Sierra Nevada early Monday, dusting roads with white powder and forcing commuters to put on tire chains.Snow was seen for the first time this season at a National Weather Service observation station in Kingvale, located at 6,200 feet. But the powder was so light that it was not measurable, according to Travis Wilson, a weather service meteorologist in Sacramento. At Mount Rose Ski Resort outside Reno, the storm dumped 7-18 inches of fresh snow.
