Submitted by paula on Tue, 02/27/2018 - 9:50pmA blast of winter is headed to Lake Tahoe and Northern Nevada and the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) is reminding motorists that one of the most important factors to consider when driving in inclement weather is SPEED.

A common violation during inclement weather is “Speed Too Fast For Conditions”.
Winter Weather Advisory for Lake Tahoe: 3-5" snow possible at lake level
Submitted by paula on Mon, 12/18/2017 - 4:40pmIt most likely won't be a white Christmas in Lake Tahoe, but snow is headed to the Sierras this Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. It is a quick moving storm but has a chance to leave behind the much-needed snow. Christmas Day is expected to be sunny and cold, with a high of 39, low around 12.
Plan on slippery road conditions during the morning commute Wednesday from Lake Tahoe to Reno and the Carson Valley. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are forecast for lake level, with up to 10 inches expected above 7000 feet.
Wind advisory and 20% chance of snow in Lake Tahoe Saturday
Submitted by paula on Fri, 12/15/2017 - 10:38pmA quick moving, weak weather system will affect the area Friday night through Saturday morning bringing very light snowfall across the region. The inversions we've seen in the Reno-Tahoe area are likely to strengthen again early next week before a cold front moves through in the middle of next week and breaks them down.
A weak ridge will be in place early next week which will again provide dry conditions, light winds, and the valley inversions. However, models do continue to show a potential for a more potent slider type system on Wednesday.

I hate to waste my time, but I cannot let the erroneous propaganda put out by the Emperor of City Hall go unrebutted.
