More snow is on the way with accumulations of 8 to 15 inches above 7000 feet. However, with the snow will come high winds so don’t plan on seeing much of upper mountain open till Friday or Saturday.

Here is the report from NOAA.

LIGHT SNOW WILL MOVE INTO THE TAHOE BASIN LATE TONIGHT. SNOW…HEAVY AT TIMES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 15 INCHES ARE EXPECTED ABOVE 7000 FEET…WITH 4 TO 8 INCHES AT LAKE LEVEL…ESPECIALLY ALONG THE WEST SHORE OF LAKE TAHOE. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO COMBINE WITH THE SNOW TO PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW…AND WHITE OUT CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA PASSES. THE SNOW WILL TAPER TO SHOWERS BY THURSDAY EVENING.

SOUTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. LOCAL WIND PRONE AREAS MAY SEE GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DECREASE ON THURSDAY AS SNOW MOVES INTO THE AREA. HOWEVER…GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE RIDGES AND THE HIGHEST PASSES AND COULD CREATE NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT…ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.
