Substantial disruptions to daily life and travel will continue
atop the Sierra Nevada tonight even as the snow diminishes.
Multiple troughs of low pressure will continue to swing into the
West (albeit less extreme) and will bring some additional snowfall
tonight through tomorrow to parts of Northern CA, the Sierra, and
the Cascades.

This will be the final storm summary for this event.
