Snow made a rare appearance in the Bay Area early Wednesday morning, with Mount Hamilton getting a fresh coat of snow. Video from the 4,265-foot peak around 4:45 a.m. showed icy roads and snow-covered vehicles near the James Lick Observatory as blustery winds and dense fog turned the summit into a winter wonderland.

The National Weather Service said 2-4 inches of rain are expected in lower elevations, 4-8 inches in the higher ones.

Days after an atmospheric river brought record-setting rainfall to California, the state is in the crosshairs of another rainy storm system.
