Pinecrest, CA — The power outages from the earlier storm system this week have been restored, but some new incidents have popped up this morning.
PG&E reports that 32 customers lost electricity above Arnold near Highway 4 and Calaveras Big Trees State Park just after 3am. Heavy snow has been reported in that area. It is unclear when there will be full restoration.
