California Swept By Worst Winter In Years
A new storm drenched California’s soaked lowlands and piled snow in the mountains as the state endures its worst winter in half a century. Weekend rains forced about 2,500 people from homes in the San Francisco Bay area while Sierra highways and transcontinental trains faced delays and blockages. The system was set to spread more rain to Los Angeles and more snow to the San Bernardino range, with slides tying up traffic. Northward, light snow blanketed northern New England and light rain fell in the northern Appalachians.
