CALIFORNIA - The cooler fall weather has hit Northern California, as the first significant snowstorm of the season made its way across the region on Monday, with conditions expected to worsen today.

According to KCRA 3, the cold front brought rain and snow to Northern California overnight on Monday, during which snow also started to pick up in the Sierra Valley. By noon, snow had fallen at locations above 4,000 feet.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms also moved through the Valley, as the source noted, and showers are expected to linger in the region leading up to Thursday.
