Snow coated some of the Bay Area peaks Monday morning after a storm brought the first significant precipitation to the region in almost a month.

The webcam at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in San Jose showed snow covering the ground near the 4,209-foot peak.

There was also a report of snow dusting the 3,849-foot peak of Mount Diablo and 4,341-feet high Mt. St. Helena.
