Howie's Top 20 favorite Christmas movies
Submitted by paula on Mon, 12/21/2020 - 10:14am
Christmas started early for this guy once the pandemic hit. I put my Christmas lights up over the 4th of July and for a short while started watching Christmas movies too to try and get that feel-good feeling happening. Okay, I also did it because I wanted to watch movies where no one was wearing a mask and hugging one another without fear of being exposed. I’ve always enjoyed movies for their pure escapism and who doesn’t want to escape what we’ve been through already ya know? I also like being wrapped around a movie completely.

Submitted by paula on Mon, 12/18/2017 - 5:40pm
It 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.

A small front will pass by Lake Tahoe Tuesday, with a wintery mix of Rain, snow and sleet, with a chance of some accumulation of snow, but forecasters are looking at Friday night into Saturday for a stronger storm that could drop measurable snow.
Both of these systems could impact travel over the Sierras. With Friday a major holiday travel day, those on the road should be prepared. Snow could cover roads and chain controls are expected at higher elevations.
