Another cold system brought another round of high elevation snow to the region, particularly in Trinity County. This storm system was then followed by a series of wet systems with heavy rain resulting in small stream, urban, and river flooding. The contrasting temperatures from the previous cold systems and saturated ground caused numerous rock and land slides across the region. Also, in addition to the heavy rain, strong coastal and ridge winds resulted in closed roads and power outages.
