A Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service is in effect through Monday morning for Lake Tahoe and the Sierra as a strong series of systems moves into the region.

Eric caught a 28-pound, 9-ounce Mackinaw trout at Lake Tahoe on Dec. 9, at 10:30 a.m. Photos courtesy of Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters.
The Lake Tahoe record for Mackinaw Trout is a 37-pound, 6-ounce (44 inches in length) trophy caught by Robert Aronsen, way back in 1974. To date, only a handful of Macks have been caught that have weighed 30 pounds or more.

Snow, heavy rain and strong winds are expected for the Sierra, Lake Tahoe and Western Nevada through the weekend. The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a Winter Weather Advisory and Wind Advisory from 10 Thursday night through 4 p.m. Friday for areas above 7,000 feet. For the first wave of a series of three storms, anywhere between 8 to 16 inches of snow is expected around 7,000 feet and above and between 2 to 3 feet above 8,000 feet.

Are you ready for some fun? Well, it may be ‘fun’ for us, BUT for our seven bear cub in the BEAR Cage at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, it is not so much fun for them.

We are putting them into hibernation. Yesterday (Monday, Nov. 12), they ate their 'Last Supper.’ Today, they were introduced to some green tree limbs, supplied to LTWC by Ed Cook of Ed Cook’s Tree Service in South Lake Tahoe. The cubs knew exactly what to do with the limbs. They started chewing them.

Gusty winds and low humidity ahead of a low pressure system has prompted the National Weather Service in Reno to issue a Fire Weather Watch for Wednesday that includes the western Sierra front. Some rain and high elevation snow is expected as the system pulls through but the Lake Tahoe Basin but doesn't appear to be in a zone where forecasters believe there will be significant accumulation.
