Blizzard conditions began over the Sierra Nevada mountains in California Thursday afternoon and evening. Wind gusts were measured at 40-50 mph using handheld anemometers. Blowing snow made for treacherous driving conditions as snowplows and graders tried to keep the roads clear. Upwards of 10-12+ feet of snow is forecast for elevations above 5,000 feet.
