Storms lined up to drop white stuff on Tahoe

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.
