Humboldt County OES (7:40 a.m.):

PG&E confirmed that Humboldt County is without power due to transmission lines being impacted by winter weather. PG&E has stated that restoration work has already begun and that most of the County should regain power by mid-late morning. Only use 911 for emergencies.

According to few sources, the line that transmits to Humboldt goes all the way to Trinity County and that is the part covered with snow.
