US weather: California covered in snow as powerful winter storm hits

California is still dealing with deadly wildfires which have tracked through the state since October this year.

Nearly 2,300 people were evacuated as the Cave Fire tore through Santa Barbara earlier this week.

However, the fire was party tamed as the winter front descended, producing a “unique” interaction not seen by firefighters before.

Mike Eliason, a spokesperson for the California Fire Department, said the situation was unprecedented.
