The California Highway Patrol confirmed the closure of I-80 over Donner Pass due to slick and snowy conditions, impacting travel significantly as cars spun out.
Nathan Rick from the National Weather Service noted the snowfall at Donner Pass was moderate, with periods of heavy snowfall expected, but tapering off by late tonight.
With snow levels dropping to 5,000 feet, widespread rain and snow affected numerous mountain routes, leading to chain controls and travel delays across several passes.
Meteorologist Nathan Rick warned of ongoing snow accumulation of 6 to 8 inches at Donner Pass and the likelihood of travel complications into the coming week.
