Drone captures rare Highway 17 snow
From the North Bay, to the East Bay, to the Santa Cruz Mountains, parts of the Bay Area woke up to the rare sight of snow early Tuesday.
On Highway 17 in the Santa Cruz Mountains, snow had been falling off and on since 2 a.m. KPIX 5 reporter Kiet Do said the snow elevation at the Summit (elevation 1,800 feet) was about 1-2 inches.
In the East Bay, snow fell on the Altamont Pass and east of Livermore overnight. Snow was also reported in the Oakland and East Bay hills.
Significant amounts of snow was also seen on the tallest Bay Area peaks, including Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County and Mount Hamilton east of San Jose.
Snow was even reported on parts of San Francisco and the Peninsula. A spotter with the National Weather Service reported a light dusting of snow on Twin Peaks early Tuesday morning.
