It was a surprise for many residents in the North Bay to see a rare snow flurry on Friday turn wine country into a winter wonderland.
"Snow like this, it's probably been since about early 2000's," said Jerry Fechter who lives in the Calistoga Hills.
"We want people to be cautious because of the recent weather and the impact on the roads specifically in the unincorporated parts of the county...especially west of Highway 29 and east of Silverado Trail," said Linda Ong the Napa County Public Information Officer. Communities concerned about those without a warm home have opened warming shelters in places such as Santa Rosa.
For some, the snowflakes' silver lining was seeing children relishing the rare joy of sledding so close to home.
