California is experiencing dangerous scenes due to the heavy rainfall in just a matter of days, while the Nevada mountains are expected to be buried under up to 12 feet of snow. The storm is projected to last through Sunday, possibly even extending into Monday and Tuesday.
The severity of this storm is unparalleled in terms of winter weather across the United States. Whiteout conditions and wind gusts exceeding 100 MPH have been reported, with the storm reaching equivalent strength to a Category 2 or 3 hurricane.
