    Placerville got 4-6 inches, at the house maybe an inch, but the ice is the problem here. US 50 has chains required Twin Bridges to Meyers, (NV conditions after that)...

    Tahoe is predicting -9 tonight, Sacramento will be down in the low 20's, highs today barely scratch through freezing. Bay Area has discovered 4 homeless have died refusing to go to shelters they were in the 20's over night. Going to remain in the low 30's for highs mostly through the week is the prediction.

    Haven't heard any news reports on crop damage in the Central Valley, but they were very concerned it could cause some big problems with the citrus and nuts still on the trees!
