Bay Area rain brings spinouts, traffic slowdowns
As the Sierra was set to get hammered by snow - plenty of rain was seen in the Bay Area Monday.
It led to plenty of spinouts and congestion could be seen dark and early in the morning making for challenging driving conditions.
Something the CHP warned drivers about all weekend.
"It's always important to reduce your speed, increase following distance, it takes a longer distance to stop vehicle in the wet roadway conditions," said Officer Arthur Tellez with the California Highway Patrol.
The road challenges are also expected for those going to and leaving the Lake Tahoe area. The road challenges aside though, the snow is a welcome site for local ski resorts that have seen a bit of a dry spell.
"It's going to bring up the snow pack, for the ski resorts, it's really going to allow them to press forward into the spring season," said Kevin "Coop" Cooper, CEO of the Kirkwood Ski Education Foundation, "So for skiers and riders, for outdoor enthusiasts, snowmobiles, cross country skiers, anybody who loves snow, the Sierra is going to be set, especially after Thursday."
