Weather Lake Tahoe Area

Hi,

we're heading from Las Vegas to Reno by car on Nov 27. How is the
recent weather condition at the Lake Tahoe area and what is the
forecast saying? I know there are two weeks left, but do we have to
expect snow and closed roads?

Ja!

I was there last week-end as I am every first week-end in November. It
started to snow Saturday afternoon and continued to do so 'til some
time Sunday. I usually start home from the Midnight Sunday but was
afraid to.

Monday was beautiful, the road wet but ice-free.

A few years ago, I was the last car over the summit without chains!
Not any more fun that today's sig is funny.

Some of the ski resorts are open already. Enjoy.

And no one can make thirteen day advance weather forecasts. But
having road closures around Thanksgiving would be a commonplace.
Or, rather than outright closure tire chains may be required on
some highways.

And if you don't have chains, they *will* turn you back. Also,
buying or renting chains at the last minute will be expensive.
It's best to get some at an auto supply store before you get
to the Tahoe area. (Dunno whether stores do rentals; maybe
someone will have a suggestion about that.)

Some stores will take returns, especially if the original
packaging is intact.
