SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Storms come, and storms go at Lake Tahoe. Snow is nothing new, but what happened in the El Dorado County part of Lake Tahoe caught many but surprise, and left them angry.
After feet of snow fell last weekend, snowplows were deployed to get to the roads and remove snow. The problem with this storm for county residents was the lack of plows that came to clear the roads. Some zones got one sweep by a plow each day, while residents along Upper Truckee Road and its sidestreets did not see a plow for a few days, leaving deep snow for vehicles to navigate.
