Amanda Lee and her kids from Santa Rosa never dreamed they'd be sledding in Wine Country, but it's happening.
"It's fun so far, it's cool," Lee said.

"It's amazing, it was a little hard getting up here, we're not used to driving in snow, but it worked out," said Anjali Singh.
Snow kept falling in the town of Angwin. It has snowed here before, but never like this.

Vineyards in Calistoga were snow-covered. A drive through Wine Country looked more like a trip through Tahoe.
Generators were keeping the lights on at the Calistoga Fire Department, after a widespread power outage which lasted about nine hours.

PG&E restored power to Calistoga at around 2 p.m. Friday.
Roadblocks were up on Highway 29, where Caltrans says more than a foot of snow fell on Mt. St. Helena overnight. Caltrans says the roadway could be closed through the weekend.
