The National Weather Service reported that more than 235,000 homes, businesses and other power customers in California and Nevada had been left in the dark due to the severe weather.

US Highway 101 and Interstate 80 were partially closed due to multiple spinouts, and residents were advised to avoid travel due to the hazardous conditions.
