Cold Front Produces Sierra's First Snow

Snow in the Sierra made Tuesday morning look more like winter than the tail end of summer.

NBC Bay Area meteorologists reported the first snowfall of the season at Kirkwood Mountain Resort near Lake Tahoe, where a cold front sent temperatures dipping into the 30s.

National Weather Service meteorologist Brian O'Hara says there was a dusting of snow in the mountains and at Kirkwood, which sits above 7,800 feet.

Closer to the San Francisco Bay Area, light sprinkles were reported in the Santa Cruz Mountains during the morning commute.
