The storm that steamrollered through the Sierra Nevada still threatened rain and snow through Saturday afternoon in Southern California, a few hundred miles away. The National Weather Service said mountains in Ventura and Los Angeles counties could see up to a foot of new snow at higher elevations. That was a relief to residents of the coastal foothill town of Montecito, northwest of Los Angeles. The Sierra Nevada avalanche Friday afternoon injured two people, one seriously. ——Associated Press writer John Antczak in Los Angeles and Scott Sonner in Reno, Nevada, contributed to this report.
