LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – While parts of Lake County looked like a winter wonderland on New Year's Day, area roads and highways saw dangerous conditions for drivers.
The California Highway Patrol on Saturday had numerous reports of stranded vehicles or cars off roadways, snow and ice making it unsafe to travel.
Trouble spots included Highway 175 near Cobb, some parts of Highway 29 in the south county near Middletown and at the Glasgow Grade outside of Lower Lake, and Bottle Rock Road and Western Mine Road.
Late Saturday evening there was a report of a woman whose vehicle was stuck in the snow on Fairway Drive in the Clear Lake Riviera, the CHP reported.
The Hopland Grade was being cleared by a snow plow late Saturday night, according to a report received by Lake County News.
Meanwhile, readers from around the county shared their pictures of the county coated in white, from Hidden Valley Lake, Middletown, Lower Lake and Cobb, to Clearlake, Glenhaven, Clearlake Oaks and Kelseyville.
The National Weather Service reported Saturday night that another low pressure system was approaching the California coast and expected to move over the North Coast on Sunday.
Snow levels were expected to become heavy early Sunday morning at and above the 2,500 foot level, where 2 to 4 inches were expected, while 4 to 8 inches could fall above 3,00 feet, the National Weather Service said.
While snow showers over Lake County are expected to decrease Sunday morning, forecasters said snow is expected to continue over the Sierras through Sunday night.
The National Weather Service said rain is likely in Lake County on Sunday, with the weather clearing throughout the rest of the week.
