A colossal storm is poised to barrel across the northern Sierra Nevada Wednesday evening, with high winds whipping heavy falling snow and creating blizzard conditions.
The National Weather Service advised against all travel in the mountain range straddling California and Nevada through Thursday.
"I would call this storm extremely dangerous," said Karleisa Rogacheski, a meteorologist with the NWS Sacramento office. "During whiteout conditions, it's going to be near-impossible to drive."
The NWS has issued a winter storm warning for elevations between 5,500 feet and 6,500 and a blizzard warning for elevations above 7,o00 feet, where conditions will be "potentially life-threatening" with "zero visibility in whiteout conditions."

Globull warming. /s
What is the newly elected adulterer going to do with all that water?
There was a FReeper a few days ago who posted a vanity asking ideas about the best route across the Sierras this time of year. Hope he’s already gone.
I hope so. My kids drove up to Reno last weekend from the Bay Area and back early in the week. No drama.
It’s Winter! It snows in the north and in the high sierras. And, it gets cold(er)!
Shhhhheesh!
Recently we had about a foot of GloBull warming in my area of southwestern Colorado. The high country got a lot of GloBull warming.
Its pure entertainment watching the weather channel right now. It seems that they have discovered that it snows in places other than NYC and DC in January.

I read that they want to tax it if you drink it.
You’re right. The Weather Channel is crazy with their propaganda..
...and jail you if you use a straw.
...and jail you if you use a straw.

Right! Lol
They want to tax you for drinking water but don’t want you to use a straw to drink the water.
Please see my tagline.
“If you go for a walk, they’ll tax the street”
My favorite jab at them is that they are even naming dust devils out by Gila Bend.
And... queue the heart-rending tales of idiots who unnecessarily go out in this stuff..
George Donner said he wasn’t worried. “We’ll have plenty to eat.”
That’s right. And some politicians in that crazy place want to start taxing Texting.
They’ll get breath meters next.
That’s a good observation.
The only thing I watch on the weather channel is “Local on the 8’s” and sometimes “Highway Through Hell” about the wreckers and big rigs.
