A vigorous cold front moved through the Sierra Nevada on the 2nd. Its overland trajectory limited the amount of moisture available to produce precipitation, but the dynamic nature of the feature produced bands of light, very dry snow for parts of northeast California, the Sierra, and western Nevada. Gusty high winds also accompanied the front.
