| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A weather spotter along Brockway Pass measured 2 feet of snow in a 12 hour period. Also, 12-24 inch snowfall amounts were common around Lake Tahoe during the same time frame. Several avalanches occurred over a few roads and highways around Lake Tahoe, but there was no damage to vehicles. Interstate 80, Highway 431 (Mt. Rose Highway), and U.S. Highway 50 were closed at times Wednesday afternoon and evening due to the heavy wet snowfall. |
