(AP) - Hundreds of thousands of residents in Northern California are without power as winter storms pummel the state.
There have been outages from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. A utility official says heavy rains and strong winds are making it hard to restore electricity.
Meanwhile, authorities are warning truckers in the Sierra Nevada to hunker down because of blizzard-like conditions in mountain passes there.
Some ski resorts are taking precautions and shutting down. The general manager of a lodge in Soda Springs says the resort is "plowing and grooming" to keep from being buried in.
Meanwhile, Sacramento International Airport says it's still open, but no planes are landing or taking off because of high winds.
A trio of storms is expected throughout the state through the weekend. Forecasters say the mountains could get 10 feet of snow by the time the storms end.
