WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH AT LAKE LEVEL... AND ABOVE 100 MPH OVER THE RIDGES... WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY AT TIMES.

as of right now, i believe it's just chains and snow tired required... i bet it will be closed by tonight though. it's to dangerous to drive, especially with that layer of ice under the snow. i was listening to the radio, there are spin-outs on almost every street in reno.. i wouldn't drive unless you have to! we should watch your movie today becca. :)

Are the roads really that bad. I'm thinking of driving down from Idaho Saturady or Sunday but maybe I should wait a few more days. I've got a Ford ranger with 4 wheel drive and I have chains as well. The thing will be loaded up with all my worldly belongings and a couple sandbags so that should help out.

I need a snowmobile right not, not a truck. As for getting to alpine, I wouldn't worry about it, no lifts are open today and they prob wont be tommorow either.

Aaarrgg!!!

I tried twice -- Friday night and Saturday afternoon -- to make it up and after waiting for three hours gave up can and came back to the Bay Area.

Anybody got a good backroute? Any idea if 49 to 89 will work?
