Chains Required On I-80, 2 Feet Of Snow Above Lake Tahoe

Chain restrictions remain in effect on Interstate 80 after a winter storm dumped more than 2 feet of snow on the top of some ski resorts around Lake Tahoe.

 

Chains were required Friday on all but four-wheel drive vehicles with snow tires on a 50-mile stretch of eastbound I-80 from Nyak, California to the Nevada-California line west of Reno.

 

Westbound traffic is subject to the same restrictions for an additional 10 miles to Baxter, California.

 

The storm packing winds in excess of 100 mph dropped 25 inches of snow at the Squaw Valley ski resort near Tahoe City and 22 inches at Northstar near Truckee.
