The Mountain Area has weathered its first snowstorm rather well. According to CHP, only a few incidents of sliding on the icy roadways were reported with no injuries — the worst, a big rig slide that closed Deadwood for 1 1/2 hours on Monday. PG&E reported only one residential power outage in Mariposa. Reports say area precipitation averages remain well below average.
