Epic snow pounding Sierras thanks to atmospheric river storms
The flooding in Sonoma County is not from melting snowpack, however, but the torrential rain in Northern California."It's been a very wet month in Sacramento. We're at the fifth wettest February on record," Mathews said.
Interstate 80 has been closed since Tuesday because of snow, and the freeway has been closed several times this winter due to snow accidents, Mathews said. Snow has affected travel over the trans-Sierra passes, and with the heavy rain and runoff, rivers have been on the rise, resulting in numerous road closures in Northern California and even some evacuations in Redding and, now, the area around the Russian River.
"There's a lot of standing water and it will be slow to recede,” he said. “And once there's a let-up, there are a lot of storms on the horizon. So we'll have flooding issues well into next month.”
