Sonora, CA — There are still thousands without power in the Mother Lode as there have been challenges for PG&E accessing impacted areas due to the snow and downed trees.
There are widespread outages in Tuolumne County in Twain Harte, Tuolumne, Soulsbyville, Phoenix Lake and Groveland. In Calaveras County, the hard-hit spots are Avery, Forest Meadows, Railroad Flat, West Point and Wilseyville. PG&E crews will remain very busy today and plans to have more customers restored throughout the day.
Due to the outages and slick roads, several schools are either starting late or canceled. Click here to view the list for Thursday.
