FRESNO, Calif. (AP) – Fall is looking a lot like winter across Northern California.
The first major storm of the season on Monday brought snow to the Sierra Nevada and rain across the rest of the region.
     The National Weather Service issued travel advisories for higher
elevations, where up to 2 feet of snow was expected. Snow plows are
in operation above 4,500 feet on Interstate 80 and chains are
required.
     Meanwhile, Highway 20 was closed east of Nevada City after five
big-rigs jackknifed in 6 inches of snow.
     A winter storm warning will remain in effect for higher
elevations until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

The heaviest snowfall is expected on Monday, though showers are likely into Tuesday night.
     Yosemite National Park was expecting about 8 inches of snow
above 6,000 feet.
