Even though Mother Nature dumped just less than a foot of snow overnight, all schools in Lake Tahoe Unified School District, Douglas County School District and Tahoe Truckee Unified School District are open on Thursday.

Incline Village schools are on a two-hour delay.

A winter weather advisory remains in effect through 4am Friday. Snow showers are expected to resume this afternoon, with another 3-7 inches at lake level and the possibility of a foot of snow above 7,000 feet.

Expect some delayed openings at the ski resorts as they work to clear the snow off chairs and implement avalanche control measures. Call the resort or check their websites for specifics.

Sierra-at-Tahoe is reporting 15 inches of new snow and Northstar received 13 inches up top and 11 inches mid-mountain.

Chain controls are up on the highways in and out of the Tahoe basin. Click on the state icon on Lake Tahoe News’ home page for current conditions.
