A blizzard warning for the western slopes of the Sierra and winter storm warning for Lake Tahoe, Reno and our valleys continues until 4 a.m. on Wednesday.

Another round of snow showers Tuesday morning, and again by the afternoon and evening. Our valleys could see 1 to 6" of new snow with 2-3' in the mountains.

I-80 remains closed over Donner Pass. Also, Mt. Rose Highway is closed near Douglas Fir Drive.

U.S. 50 near Echo Summit was closed for hours but has since reopened. 

As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, chains or snow tires are required throughout Reno and Sparks on I-80 (from Robb Drive to East McCarran Blvd.) and on U.S. 395 from the I-80 to past the California state line. 

In California, State Route 267 closed in both directions Northstar Road to Kings Beach and portions of US-395 in Mono and Inyo Counties are closed.

Palisades Tahoe says Wednesday's operations will be delayed. They didn't say until when, but mentioned lifts will likely not open right at 9 a.m. 

Plan on a snowy Tuesday evening commute and a slick morning commute on Wednesday.

The storm moves out of here by Wednesday afternoon, with nice weather on Thursday and Friday.

Saturday looks OK, but then we turn windy on Sunday with another chance for snow showers Sunday into next Monday.

As of right now, Palisades Tahoe, Alpine Meadows and Kirkwood Mountain Resort are closed.
