A winter storm is impacting the Sierra Nevada ahead of Presidents Day weekend, bringing fresh snow to Tahoe resorts but creating hazardous conditions on major highways. Caltrans has implemented chain controls and cautioned drivers of potential delays and ice remaining on the roads even after the storm moves through. Meteorologists warn of strong winds and chilling temperatures at higher elevations, urging travelers to delay trips until conditions improve. Additional snow showers are expected late Sunday, complicating travel throughout the weekend.
Travel will be very difficult to impossible. The hazardous conditions will impact all commutes late Thursday and Friday. Prepare for significant slowdowns and possible road closures.
Even after these storms move through, there's still going to be a lot of ice on the roads up in the high country, so people should be careful.
