R2 is chains or 4x4 with winter tires. I get a text every time R2 is implemented. My phone has been blowing up with them for the last 10 days.
Plus no storms predicted for the next week is a meaningless thing to say in the Sierra. I don’t how many times the weather service has called for clear skies only to wake up to a foot or more of snow the next morning.
I believe that.
Chains there is common, yes. I’m sure the local stops make huge money selling chains.
Not a huge deal, though. They’re so easy to put on now.
Still, it’s a hassle.
Yesterday my nephew drove it and he said it was snowing.
He probably had to put on chains, I assume.
