Heavy snow in the mountains and rain in the valleys triggered power outages and school delays at Lake Tahoe and snarled traffic during the morning commute in Reno.
The Nevada Highway Patrol responded to more than dozen accidents on slick roads in the Reno-Sparks area early Thursday.
The start of school in Incline Village was delayed two hours due to road conditions and a power outage.
Most of the power has been restored but NV Energy reports more than 250 customers continue to be affected by outages between Reno and Lake Tahoe.
More than 2 feet of snow was recorded overnight at the Mount Rose Ski Resort and several inches of rain in the valleys north and west of Reno. More rain and snow is expected into Friday.
