While a storm like the one that blasted the East Coast is not supposed to hit the region, fall is going away this week and in its place will be winter.

It could make for an uncomfortable night of trick-or-treating. The National Weather Service in Reno is saying the cold front will move in tonight.

“However, fast movement of the front and limited moisture will result in minimal amounts of rain or snow accumulation,” weather folks report.

The worst day – as defined by the amount of snow and level of temperatures – will be Thursday. Six to 12 inches could fall in the Sierra, with snow in the Carson Valley, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

That system is expected to stick around through next weekend.

“Anyone planning travel through the Eastern Sierra or over Sierra passes Thursday into Friday morning or late in the weekend should closely monitor the latest forecasts and weather statements,” the NWS says.

After today’s high being in the low 60s in the Lake Tahoe Basin, it’s expected to drop to 46 on Tuesday with that night’s low being in the teens.
