Make sure you have chains with you if you are planning on Sierra travel over the next few days. Also, have the KCRA mobile app. #kcrawx

Good day to turn off your yard watering system. Good rain should take care of that tomorrow. #kcrawx

It's snowing out the Window up here, barely but it's the first flakes of the season. Here's to another season of tracking them down! BA

Parts of the Valley will get one last dose of Sun before more clouds work into the area. Should help bump temps up a touch. #kcrawx
