Northern California faces a blizzard warning from late Wednesday until 1 p.m. Friday, with 10 to 20 inches of snow possible in communities above 6,000 feet, and as much as two to three feet of snow in northern Sierra communities.

Wind gusts could exceed 80 mph in some areas, the Los Angeles Times reported. More than seven-and-a-half inches of rain is also expected in the Sierra Nevada, and the Bay Area could see more than three inches of rain.

The National Weather Service office in Sacramento posted a warning .

Lucky dogs, I miss weather.

Mild down south....At about 64 degrees at 630pm, and just a mild on shore breeze...Just a beautiful day today...

The Sierras need as much snow as the big mother can provide.

Snow in the mountains is important for California.

Sorry for the double

We sure do and looks like we are going to get it.

Dang, and they were having such a nice drought. Fit right in with global warming and all.

They are calling for 140 MPH winds in my area. Lot of big old Ponderosa trees may be going down.

We’ve had a lot of wind about 120 miles north in Roseburg but it’s been in the 50s all day. Enjoy the snow.

I just came in from tying everything down and moving inside whatever I could and then shoring our creek. Northern California is going to get hit much harder than the Bay Area. The winds are already pounding. My property is on a ridge that gets slammed by wind coming up from the small valley below. Fortunately the rain is going to to hit a bit later — probably 6-8:00 am. Eighteen years ago the main road that we use to get anywhere was flooded for two weeks (I didn't live here at the time). There is an emergency access gate that will allow me to access the roads out the back way so first thing tomorrow I'm going to buy a pair of bolt cutters to have in the event I need to cut the chain on that gate.

Snow in the Winter = Global warming...
