Woe the skiers who got a late start for the Sierra yesterday: Cal Trans closed the road in both directions last evening(9th) from Colfax to the Nevada state line(past Truckee). Multiple vehicle spin outs caused the shut down as falling snow hindered visibility and control by drivers. Usually, drivers under these conditions are prudent and stop before an incident. But, as we know here in Tahoma, when ignorance takes the wheel, bad things happen.
Snow is forecast off and on for the next few days: be careful; carry chains, USE THEM, and don't drive unless you have to.
