"Elsewhere, the latest snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada dividing California
and Nevada made driving hazardous Tuesday. Interstate 80 was closed
overnight north of Lake Tahoe as heavy snow and wind gusting to 100 mph
created whiteout conditions. U.S. 50 was closed south of the lake and north
of Yosemite National Park.

Both highways reopened at midmorning, with chains mandatory.

Chains and snow tires also were required in the northern part of the state
on U.S. 93 to the Idaho line and over the summits of U.S. 50 after up to a
foot of snow fell in 18 hours around Elko, Nev. "
