There has been so much snow coming down in the Sierra Nevada that Caltrans says it crews can't keep the roads clear.

"I said stay home, don't travel unless you have to. Wait until the storms pass and the roads get cleared out, cause it can get slick," Collins said.
Another reason to stay home - the threat of avalanches... which have already been posted for parts of the Sierra from now until Monday.
