Rain, snow continues in California as many remain without power
Winter storm warnings were in effect for some mountainous areas and a major road through the Sierra Nevada was closed for several hours. Authorities also continued to warn of possible mudslides in parts of Southern California denuded by the fall's wildfires. But for most of the state, precipitation would be light until early Monday, when another few inches of rain and snow could begin hitting some areas, Goldstein said. Heavy snow was expected to pick back up again in Northern California on Tuesday, when another couple feet could drop in the Sierra Nevada. At least two deaths were being blamed on the fierce winds, rain and snow that struck the state Friday and Saturday. Lindsey Marie Erickson, 25, of Corona died when her pickup truck was swept into a flood channel in Chino, a San Bernardino County community east of Los Angeles.
Nick Bryant's Australia
To have watched the final five balls of Sydney's New Year test was to have witnessed much of what is unique and so elevating about cricket's most beauteous form of the game. To have watched the previous five days of play was to have seen the peevishness, boorishness and administrative incompetence which is disfiguring the game. Today should have been a time to roll out that dog-eared sporting cliche that the "game is the winner". A moment to marvel at how Michael Clarke, a part-time spinner, won a last-gasp victory for his team, despite acknowledging afterwards that he did not think he had "a chance in hell" of getting three wickets in the final 10 minutes of play. For the Australian team, this should have been a morning to savour their record-equalling 16th straight test victory, the final four of which were secured without their match-winning legends, retirees Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath.
