snowstorms from the past. we still trying to dig out car for >> correspondent karma dickerson live for us up in nevada county. he karma. how's it going? it's not snowing, at least for the moment right there. it's actually pretty right? it's pretty clear right now for the moment. so we're doing okay. but really the conditions have been changing so much since we've been out here. we've gotten some hill like conditions. we've got snow. we've got that weather grapple. all of the things we've seen just in the time that we've been out here today. and that's one of the things that's proving challenging for pg crews. they really don't know what they're going to be dealing with as they're out there trying to restore power. meanwhile, thousands of people still in the dark and we're talking about more than a week in some cases. >> well, they said 2 days be back in 2 days. >> 7 days later, thousands in nevada county are still without power, including sharon who says she tried to be patient. we heard and no one for like 5 days.

>> but finally made her first complaint called the pg monday morning. >> the gao was very nice. i wasn't nice. >> because time is running out. i think we have maybe a 15 to 20% left. >> many people who live in the foot hills are prepared for some level of extreme weather. for example, the pierce family, they have generator. they have propane, but those are short-term fixes. and as we're now on day 7 of no power there, fuel is running low now they did think ahead they parked their car in a way that they're able to go get more gas for the generator. however, the propane has to be delivered. this driveway and they say the truck simply can't make it. so they fear they're on their last of their propane the last day of heat. >> and without the propane unit, yes. so this needs to get fixed today yet. >> pierce's shortly after calling pg a crew showed up and started working yards from her home. they talked us through the challenges they

face with restoring power to the pierce is about 6500. other customers still in the dark. >> to restore power, we first need to reach the area and assess the damage. the genie said they found more than 1000 points of damage to their equipment in the nevada county area and have a shortage of the heavy equipment necessary to access the areas to fix it. then crews go out and make those repairs. and in both cases, snow is deep. roads are often blocked by snow. when we spoke to piers, she was optimistic because she could see a crew working just outside of her home. if i didn't see him, yes, i would be very wary. >> it's just warning about. the propane. so hopefully today. >> and it actually turned out that it will not, in fact, be today. by the time we got off the pier says property and check back in with pg new just at the end of her driveway. they were also leaving and they basically said that there was so much damage back into the mountains that they really

cannot get in there. they did not have the heavy equipment they need on hand right than to do that work. and they said that they do not believe she's going to power restored today. they're not sure about tomorrow. overall pg e is trying to restore the power of all of the customers in the nevada county area by wednesday. but in terms of who's going to power restored on which day, it's still unclear at this point reporting from nevada county. i'm karma dickerson. kron, 4 karma, all the services that we we take for granted >> why they really matter. thank you for checking in on those and state stay dry. >> so target nevada county, huge area. yeah. the grass valley and of course soda springs truckee. i mean, yeah. those folks in the cold to right. that's been the thing. snow levels been going really low. 2500 to 1000 feet in the foothills. i mean, so i mean, all that area just been vast. now we may see some atmospheric river events raising that snow level up to 8,000 feet. and we've got a whole different story getting into the latter part of this

weekend next weekend. so that could get real messy. but out there tonight, boy, it's a rough go on the roads, the eastbound, the closed down. some the roads here i-80. you can see the boy, the signs they're just starting to get covered up and all that snow out there and we've got more on the way the snow falling up there right now. we've got more snow showers continuing tonight. it's going to be on and off to the next few days. in fact, we could have 2 more feet of snow across some of the higher peaks. a winter storm warnings remain in effect until wednesday morning at 10:00am. and then everything is going to change after that. that's when we start to talk about those atmospheric storms, those much warmer storms coming out. the tropics that could cause a severe snow melt and the possibility of some flooding. here's the heavy snow, though, over the next few days across the peaks of snow levels still running low down to about 2500 feet or so even lower than that in spots, maybe one to 3 feet of snow above. 2500 feet still can 10 inches at 2000 feet. and then as we get the high country, well, you can expect some a major delays, i think, through this period and occasionally some whiteout

conditions with some strong, heavy snowstorms and the possibility some gusty winds to go along with that over the next few days. you can see those cold temperatures as we get through tuesday and wednesday. then on thursday, you'll notice all of a sudden that temperature starts to rise. and that's a sign of a much different air mass coming in. you see here as we head through the night tonight, more showers continuing into wednesday. then we get into thursday and there you go. if this holds true, we've got an atmospheric river event coming the possibility of major flooding in california. >> all right, lauren, still ahead, another recall from tesla details on the model. the company says not safe for passengers and how to get it fixed. >> plus, the department of transportation is trying to make sure families can sit together on flights for free. the new tool now available to parents who want to fly with parents who want to fly with the kits.

>> alaska, frontier and american. we're calling on all airlines to do that. on monday, the department ruled out a dashboard to clearly show travelers which airlines guarantee free family seating. one of the ways we found we can get the best results from airlines is just through transparency. we certainly want to give credit to the department of transportation for taking action on this. but we also want to make it very clear that this will not be enough advocates point out the guarantees from airlines aren't necessarily permanent butter, just changes they made to their customer service policies may could be amended on an hour's notice. so it's sort of written sand when he wants to see both federal legislation and regulations from the transportation department requiring free family secretary buttigieg says his department is working on those regulations. my message to the airlines is don't wait for our regulations to be complete to just do the right thing to do it. now. right now, mcgee advises families to be vigilant about securing seats together. the onus for now until we get

these regulations in place is on the passengers and secretary buttigieg promises. we're going to keep pushing to make the passenger experience better. and in washington, i'm hannah brandt. >> next up, prices going up, the costco, not necessarily for the items you buy, but for that annual membership. the timeframe for that price plus, we're learning that the oakland ransomware attack, it's actually getting worse. now what's being released to the public? >> that's supposed to be private. >> and a bunch of americans have been shot and kidnaps right after driving into mexico with the feds think may have happened in the travel warning tonight for americans.

developing news tonight at 5.30, the fbi is reporting 4 americans have been kidnapped in mexico in. >> what may have been a case they say of mistaken identity federal officials say that the americans had just driven into northeastern mexico. >> from texas when they came under fire from unidentified gunman. the attackers then forced the victims into another vehicle and drove away. the victims were driving a white minivan with north carolina plates. according to a u.s. official, they may have been targeted by mistake and we're not the intended victims. the fbi $50,000 reward for their safe return. >> this all happened in city called mauro cyst over the border near
