Bay Area residents didn’t have to go all the way to the Sierra to see snow on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Lightning, thunder and even snow made for a surprising Tuesday morning for many living in the North Bay.<\/p>\n
“I looked out my patio window, and it was snow, big snowflakes,” said Eisabeth Ruth Zemansky of Angwin.<\/p>\n
All of it made for a surprising Tuesday morning for many living in the North Bay.<\/p>\n
Zemansky said she woke up to the sounds of the storm around 4:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
“Starting to rain, and then around about two minutes to five, the first big crash of thunder. And then I saw lightning,” she said.<\/p>\n
Those who wanted to see the winter wonderland in that part of the North Bay had to get up pretty early because by about 7 a.m. the rain had already started to wash most of that snow away.<\/p>\n
Though it was mostly Angwin hit by snow, the thunder and lightning could be felt in other parts of the North Bay.<\/p>\n
Video sent to us from Stephanie Hoobler and her son Patrick from Sebastapol shows a flash of lightning in the sky.<\/p>\n
ABC7 Eyewitness News captured a lightning strike seen in Novato followed by many more and a downpouring of rain along Northbound Highway 101.<\/p>\n
In Belvedere, hail could be seen slamming into the ground.<\/p>\n
North Bay residents were staying ready as sandbags were selling quickly more than a month after widespread flooding did millions of dollars in damage, sand bags sold quickly at a Marin County hardware store.<\/p>\n
This wet weather comes with important reminders from first responders.<\/p>\n
“Look at your local weather and please slow down for the rain. Drive with your headlights on and just be cautious of any emergency equipment on the road,” said Battalion Chief Jake Rosebrock with Marin County Fire Department.
