Long Awaited Winter Storm Slams Lake Tahoe, Winter Storm Warning in Effect by TahoesBest.com
(PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- “We’ve all been scratching our heads wondering where Mother Nature has been this January,” said Roger Sheppard, an editor at Tahoe’s leading travel & tourism site, Tahoesbest.com (http://www.tahoesbest.com). “Well, she’s back just in time to kick of what is shaping up to be an epic weekend on the slopes.” Roger added, “Tahoe ski resorts including Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Heavenly, Kirkwood, Northstar, Diamond Peak and others, are all reporting heavy snowfall today and have been fortunate, with all the cold temperatures this month, to have plenty of manmade base to support this storm and the coming storms. And better yet, sun and clear skies are in the forecast for this weekend.”
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Greater Lake Tahoe Area in effect through 4 am PST Friday 1/31/2014. Here is the National Weather Service page for more storm specific details – click here.
Weather forecasts call for up to 2’ at higher elevations above 8000’ feet, one foot or more above 7000 feet and approximately 6” at Lake Tahoe lake level. The best news to the Tahoe ski resorts and local businesses, other than a massive, long awaited January snow fall, is the weekend weather looks clear making driving to and from Tahoe possible and flights running smoothly in and out of the Reno Tahoe airport.
