While the northeastern United States shivered, the mountains of the western United States, including Sierra Nevada, California, were the first big snow of the season.

Ski resorts in the area have welcomed the snow, including Mammoth Mountain in California.

Winter conditions slowed movement in the area as some mountain passes became impassable due to heavy snow.
