@SPaulsonKTVU Looking forward to seeing an updated version from the DOWNPOUR that happened around lunch time.

@NativeSantaCruz These storms are mentally taxing! Feels like the last two months have just been constant survival mode.

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@NativeSantaCruz This feels like a hurricane down in pleasure point!

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

Parenting + New Daycare Routine + Mental Load + Work Load + 11 (maybe 12 now) Atmospheric Rivers + Weather Warnings + Power Outages = Too Much, Just Too Much.

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@NativeSantaCruz Do you know how long we are expecting these winds?

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

Going to bed hours before the #atmospheric_river arrives is always nerve-racking. Never been more ready for winter to be over. #SantaCruzMountains #Hwy9

[Native Santa Cruz @NativeSantaCruz]

There are a lot of homes up there that are now cut off. I’m sure the community will come together and help each other until they can be freed from their island!

@hannah_hagemann @NWSBayArea Fully expecting a multiple day power outage beginning tomorrow night.

[michaela okland @MichaelaOkla]

Wait how did jobs work before email… like did you just get home from work and… work was over ?

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@hannah_hagemann It's been so tough up here! Appreciate your reporting.

[Native Santa Cruz @NativeSantaCruz]

As of 7:30am

[Native Santa Cruz @NativeSantaCruz]

17, 9 and 152 are all closed with no ETA for opening

[Caltrans Central Coast (District 5) @CaltransD5]

Take a look at the conditions on #Hwy17 in the #SantaCruzMountains as of 7:30 am. Please use caution while on the roads or avoid travel today if possible.

[Native Santa Cruz @NativeSantaCruz]

So basically, the Santa Cruz Mountains are closed. Wow, what a mess

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@BettyKPIX Yes - it's beautiful and fun, but thousands of us are also without power for over 48 hours. So we are trying to keep babies warm during this freeze with no updates from PGE.

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

Approaching 48 hours with no power, snow this morning. Generators and solar power do not keep the house warm. #SantaCruzMountains #CAwx #BayAreaSnow

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@jocelynamoran Reaching the 48 hour mark in the Santa Cruz mountains, with snow this morning. It's very cold.

[Raj Mathai @rajmathai]

Nice! Snow in the Bay Area. #LosGatos (off Bear Creek Road). @JeffRanieri

[Katelyn Pelton @KatelynLud]

@jocelynamoran Still out. Been out since 1:30 pm yesterday.
