LOS ANGELES (AP) Scattered showers lingered around parts of California and Nevada on Monday after the weekend’s late-season storm.
The storm delivered mostly small amounts of precipitation to states deeply in drought but there were exceptions.
Some areas of the Sierra Nevada, mainly between Echo Summit and Sonora Pass, received between 3 inches and 8 inches (7.6-20.3 centimeters) of snow, the National Weather Service office in Reno said.
The storm also produced extremely high winds in the Eastern Sierra, where the Mono County Sheriff’s Office received several reports of swamped or capsized boats on lakes and one of its own boats got into trouble after performing a rescue.
