LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Freezing cold temperatures brought snow in areas around Lake County on Saturday.


Snow fell in the higher elevations, including Cobb and Upper Lake, according to reports received from residents.


There were reports of snow falling briefly in downtown Upper Lake, but the snow didn't stick.


However, snow was visible on the hills above the Northshore and on Cobb, as well as on the Hopland Grade.


The California Highway Patrol reported receiving a report of 4 inches of snow on the ground on Bartlett Springs Road in the middle of the afternoon.


Shortly after 5 p.m. a pickup was reported stuck in snow on Mt. Pitney, the CHP said.


Caltrans reported early Sunday morning that Highways 20, 29 and 175 remained open with no travel restrictions.


The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather alert, in effect until noon Sunday, warning of continued snowfall above 2,000 feet across Northern California.


In southern Lake County, between 2 to 5 inches of snow were expected to fall above 2,000 feet by Sunday morning, and 8 to 12 inches near or above 3,000 feet, the National Weather Service predicted.


The agency reported that scattered snow showers around the North State may continue until Monday.
