A new storm has dumped fresh snow in the California mountains that are still staggering from earlier blizzards that stranded people and closed roads.

Beleaguered Californians got hit again Tuesday as a new winter storm moved into the already drenched and snow-plastered state, with blizzard warnings blanketing the Sierra Nevada and forecasters warning residents that any travel was dangerous.
California wasn't the only area battered by fierce weather. The National Weather Service predicted that a powerful weather system would affect most of the lower 48 states into Thursday, with heavy snow across the Southwest and some portions of the High Plains but record high temperatures in the Gulf Coast into the Ohio Valley.
“We hear the phantom sounds of plows, but they never come,” said Cobb, 49. “Being stuck up here in this beautiful place shouldn’t be awful, but it is.”But Michael Johnstone said his family’s store was running low Tuesday on key inventory. The storms have delayed travel, shuttered schools and overwhelmed crews trying to dig out of the snow and repair downed power lines. More than 72,000 customers were without power Tuesday night in Michigan and more than 59,000 in California, according to the website poweroutage.us.
The University of California, Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Laboratory near Donner Pass reported that nearly 41.7 feet had fallen since October, more than in any snow year since 1970 and second only to the record of 66.7 feet in 1952.
