Amador Stage Lines

On the left is Lake Tahoe last month and on the right is Tahoe this week. Went from 18% of normal to 147% of normal today.

The 1-month difference of Lake Tahoe from space is striking. From snowless terrain on December 2nd to a deep snowpack on January 1st, 200+ percent of normal. The Tahoe region experienced its snowiest December since at least 1970, with the @UCB_CSSL picking up 214 inches of snow.

BREAKING NEWS: Governor Sisolak intends to issue State of Emergency related to snow conditions on highways in Northern Nevada Click bit.ly/33YZD3n for more details.

Nevada State Police are turning around all westbound traffic on HWY 50 and Kingsbury Grade. Please do not use those routes. Only essential travel is advised at this time.

Travel is not advised at this time. Highway 50 is the only pass open and traffic is congested. Driving up Kingsbury will not get you to your destination any faster, we are seeing delays there as well. If you can make plans to stay, we recommend you do.

@potterew23 We are sorry for the delay. Due to short staffing, we only have 2 people in our office. Texts have been sent to those who we have numbers for. The bus is almost to Harrah’s now.

The City of South Lake Tahoe just released information advising only essential travel into the #SouthLakeTahoe basin

@potterew23 There was a schedule that picked up 45 minus ago and there should be one in 1 hour if traffic is not delayed.
