Cold storm with lots of snow headed for Tahoe

A winter weather advisory is in effect for Lake Tahoe from now through 10pm Monday.

Six to 12 inches of snow are expected at the lake, with 10 to 18 inches above 7,000 feet.

Winds will be picking up, so much so that lake waves could be 3 to 6 feet high. Ridge gusts may reach 110 mph.

There will be a break in the weather Tuesday and Wednesday, with snow expected to return Thursday.

Bundle up because the overnight low on Tuesday in South Lake Tahoe is expected to hit minus 1.
