A drive to Tahoe for the long weekend could be 'pretty rough,' the weather service warns
the weather service said travel is “HIGHLY DISCOURAGED” and advised being off the road by 1 p.m. Friday.The area is expected to get “3 to 6 feet of snow possible between today and Monday,” said Chandler-Cooley.
This blanketing, combined with strong winds — gusting up to 55 mph — “can create whiteout conditions,” she said. The consistent snow over the weekend will make it difficult for crews to clear the roads. If motorists feel they must travel during the weekend, they “should expect significant travel delays and even road closure,” according to Chandler-Cooley.
Those who ignore the warnings are urged “to drive slowly and carefully if they have to travel,” she said, especially on Saturday and Monday, when conditions are projected to be the worst. Travelers should also prepare for the worst, and be equipped with chains, an emergency kit, winter clothes and extra food and water in case of extended road closures.
