The storm is expected to bring as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) of snow to the upper elevations around Lake Tahoe by Monday morning, the National Weather Service said.
RENO, Nev. — A winter storm packing high winds and potentially several feet of snow blew into the Sierra Nevada on Saturday, triggering thousands of power outages in California, closing a mountain highway at Lake Tahoe and prompting an avalanche warning in the backcountry.
“Travel will be very difficult to impossible with whiteout conditions,” the weather service said in Reno, where rain started falling Saturday.The U.S. Forest Service issued an avalanche warning for the backcountry in the mountains west of Lake Tahoe where it said"several feet of new snow and strong winds will result in dangerous avalanche conditions.”
More than 30,000 customers were without power in the Sacramento area at one point Saturday morning. It had been restored to all but about 3,300 by midday. But forecasters warned winds gusting up to 50 mph could bring down tree branches and power lines later in the day. “It just seems like every week or so, another major storm rolls in,” resort spokeswoman Lauren Burke said.
