Blizzard Conditions Making For Treacherous Travel
A blizzard warning is in effect for the Sierra Nevada mountain range, including the Lake Tahoe Basin southward to Mono County. Blizzard warnings are only issued for the most severe types of snowstorms.
Meteorologist Mark Deutschendorf is with the National Weather Service in Reno. He said to expect cold temperatures, heavy snowfall and strong winds.
“In previous blizzards and storms like this, typically all the main highways are closed. And anyone who s stuck out on the highway when the snow piles up is unlikely to find a way out for possibly days,” Deutschendorf said. “Even trying to walk outside of the car for a short distance can be very dangerous.”
