Significant snowfall will continue for portions of West Coast mountain ranges and the intermountain west. Expect record cold in parts of Northern California. A steady fetch of Pacific moisture and anomalously cold temperatures through the atmospheric column will support heavy snowfall rates that will continue to blanket the mountain ranges of the West, with an emphasis on areas from the Sierra Nevada to the central Rockies.
The Sierra Nevada, which has already picked up several feet of snow the past few days, is expected to see an additional two to five feet of snow through Tuesday.
