""Our message is that if you do have to travel this weekend, try to make it Sunday night at the latest,""
""Because then once Monday rolls around, that storm is closing in, and so conditions will get pretty bad.""
""Winter has shown its head. We have to get back into that mode,""
""Once we get to Monday, that's when we'll see the travel impacts with potential whiteout conditions and heavy snow in the Sierra and over the Sierra passes. So conditions will get a bit dicey.""
A fresh round of snowfall arrived in Tahoe after a very dry January, with Sierra-at-Tahoe reporting 3 inches and more possible. The best travel window for the three-day weekend is Friday through Sunday before an incoming storm. Forecasts indicate that Monday could bring up to a foot of snow, heavy snowfall over Sierra passes, and potential whiteout conditions that will impact travel. Ongoing construction on Highway 50 and Interstate 80 will remain chokepoints, and travelers are advised to prepare with supplies, monitor road conditions on QuickMap, and treat travel like the start of the season.
