More than half a dozen schools and districts across Northern California announced they will close on Tuesday because of the snow and rain storm.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — People are waking up in the dark and students are waking up to no school in Placerville and other cities across Northern California.

The brunt of a major winter storm Monday is coming to a close Tuesday, bringing travel headaches, the threat of localized flooding and some relief in an abnormally warm fall. 

The storm will push south and east before moving out midweek. Another storm will quickly follow on its heels. Forecasters warned people in the Sierra Nevada to prepare for days of snowfall.
