A winter storm watch has been issued by the National Weather Service in Reno for the Lake Tahoe Basin for the 24-hour period starting Jan. 4 at 10pm.

Heavy snow is forecast for the basin rom 1am to 6pm on Tuesday. Four to 8 inches is expected at lake level, with 8 to 15 inches at higher elevations.

“Once the storm arrives, travel may be difficult at times with long delays,” the agency said in a statement.

Snow is predicted for the better part of the week.

The bone-chilling temperatures are gone for now. Highs are expected to be in the 30s, with overnight lows in the 20s.

    Just looking for a place to compliment the snow removal folks. Great job, especially since you are out of practice. Great work on the snow removal, despite all the people in town.

    C- on snow removal in city, Tahoe Keys specifically. How they can turn 6″ of light powdery snow into such a cumbersome fiasco with boulder berms and purposely blocking mailboxes is beyond comprehension. As usual county snow removal was far better.
