Snow keeps falling; makes driving a challenge

A little snow doesn’t stop people in Lake Tahoe from doing what they want.

Swimmers were found at the South Lake Tahoe city pool this morning – even though the bubble has not been put on yet.

Snow will continue throughout today, with a 50 percent chance of the white stuff falling on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Reno. Tonight’s low is expected to be 29 degrees in South Lake Tahoe.

The high in South Tahoe will be 38 on Thursday and in the high 50s by the weekend. Plus, the sun will return by Friday. Truckee is expected to be warmer on Saturday and Sunday – reaching the mid-60s.

The snow started on the North Shore late last night, while it was hard rain most of the night on the South Shore. Even though the white stuff is sticking to lawns at lake level, not enough has accumulated to shovel.

The drive into Carson City this morning from the South Shore was sketchy at best, but reports are the sun is shining in Nevada’s state capital.
