A week for warm layers and oversize winter jackets has arrived as a frigid storm stomped its way into Northern California and the Bay Area on Sunday, bringing with it record-breaking cold temperatures and snow to the Sierra, forecasters said. Travelers heading to the mountains during the President’s Day holiday weekend should expect dicey and icy driving conditions. The first wave of the winter weather system brought snow to the Interstate 80 and Highway 50 mountain passes on Sunday afternoon. Chain controls were in effect as the storm caught many drivers off guard, causing several crashes near Donner Pass, Caltrans officials said.
