Bay Area peaks get rare dusting of snow

Weather reports forecast snow on Bay Area peaks Sunday night into early Monday—and that prediction came true.

Cold temperatures brought the cold white fluffy stuff to elevations as low as 2,000 feet in some areas.

Snow dusted parts of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the summits of Mounts Hamilton and Diablo and mostly fell in Napa and Mendocino Counties.

NBC Bay Area shared a video on Monday morning of a flurry on Highway 29 at 2,200 feet near Calistoga (see above).

The stormy conditions are expected to continue in the Bay Area through the week with temperatures rising on Tuesday as a warmer Pacific front moves into the region. Up to five inches of rain could fall over the next seven days.
