Northern California mountains brace for more snow after blizzard blocked roads

Gusts of wind over 100mph expected in Sierras with sections of Interstate 80 near Lake Tahoe still closed late on Sunday

Forecasters are warning that more snow is on the way for northern California mountains after a powerful blizzard that closed highways and ski resorts over the weekend had mostly moved through the Sierra Nevada by early Monday.

Sections of Interstate 80 to the west and north of Lake Tahoe were still shut down late on Sunday, with no estimate for reopening, the California highway patrol said.
