Wacky Weather in Northern California

Yesterday, California experienced everything from snow to rain and even a tornado. A system from the Gulf of Alaska brought some much needed precipitation to to the area. However, in the higher elevations where there was snow falling, caused many travel problems a stretch of Highway 58 had to be closed. This storm even spawned a couple of tornadoes near Red Bull. Luckily this tornado was weak and caused minimal damage, no one was killed. Below is a picture of the tornado.

Some people were enjoying the snowy conditions. This system is expected to move east, and provide the Midwest with some snowy conditions, as well stormy conditions in the south.
