Winter Storm Warning in North Central California

I have some friends traveling through this area from Las Vegas to Bishop so I thought I would put this up. Luckily, they have all wheel drive so likely they will be okay. Also, they are from Mt. Shasta so they are used to snowy conditions and driving in this sort of stuff as well.
