A weekend storm front moved eastward early Monday, but its impact was still being felt with snow on Bay Area peaks and a rockslide on Highway 101 in Marin that damaged several vehicles.
The California Highway Patrol reported a rockslide about 5 a.m. at Rodeo Ave. Arriving officers found one vehicle with major damage and others pulled over after having been impacted by debris.
"So for the Santa Lucias the most likely amounts are around 2-4 inches with 6-8 inches possible in the higher elevations. However a reasonable worst case scenario could produce over 8 inches locally if things line up just right moisture and temperature-wise." The front also battered the region with hurricane-force gusts. At Palisades Tahoe's Alpine run a gust of 164 mph was recorded on Saturday.
"Several feet of new snow and strong winds will result in dangerous avalanche conditions in the mountains," forecasters said."Avalanche activity could be widespread, and some avalanches could be large and destructive." Crews worked early Monday to clear large tree that fell overnight in Lafayette at Pleasant Hill Road and Pleasant Lane.
