The pilot of a Cessna flying from Idaho to Sacramento has not been heard from since Saturday.

“The last known position of the aircraft is in a rugged area of the Sierra Nevada mountains southwest of Lake Tahoe,” El Dorado County sheriff’s Sgt. Tasha Thompson said in a press release. “Due to inclement weather ground and aircraft searches were called off.”

Crews hope to resume the search Oct. 17.

The pilot is the only person on board, according to Thompson.

The Sierra and much of California has been hit with nasty weather for several days, the remnants of Typhoon Songda. Snow was falling on the passes Sunday, with rain a constant at lake level. The wind has been ferocious.
