A third blast of winter weather ripped into the Lake Tahoe area Tuesday, whipping up sky-high snow drifts, shutting down freeways and ski resorts and triggering sub-zero wind chills.
According to officials at Palisades Tahoe, the resort had received 38 inches of snow by early morning and now had topped 41 feet for the season.
Meanwhile, the California Highway Patrol has closed the mountain passes on Highway 50 and I-80. Still, some motorists were trying to find a way around the closures using GPS. The blizzard conditions and high winds have also heightened the chances of a deadly avalanche occurring. The weather service has issued an avalanche warning for the region, saying"any steep slope could be dangerous" on Tuesday.
