High winds whipped the Sierra on Sunday as an atmospheric river bringing rain and snow moved through Northern California.

These bursts were far stronger than the 110 mph winds that were forecast to be the record-breakers for the day.

Or a light dusting of blowing snow.
It’s like that optical illusion [right brain, left brain] image of the woman twirling ...you are transfixed. Sort of.
