The labor pains continue in Detroit. Last month it was GM, now it's Chrysler. Company executives and negotiators with the United Auto Workers plan plan to talk all weekend to avert a strike.

Chrysler has a new private ownership that reportedly wants a different kind of deal.

Calendar says fall. But it looks like winter has arrived in California's Sierra Mountains. This is what shock to residents who were digging out of Friday. Take a look at that. One family measured up to 8 inches of snow. It's left even longtime mountain residents amazed that just how much snow fell.

"Unreal, I just thought, you know, it's never done this since I remember these are. . . "
"You've been up here how long? "
"26 years."

It's enough snow for people to have a little fun but unfortunately the accumulation is not deep enough for ski resorts to open early.
