Good luck to anyone needing to go Reno today. Hwy 395 just closed between Lee Vining and Bridgeport due to blizzard conditions and part of I-80 between Sacramento and Reno closed due to whiteout conditions. Dumping snow in Mammoth right now.

Rare Cold Storm Still on Track, with Some Small Changes
***********************EXCERPTS****************************
I do not have a lot of changes to the long posting of yesterday for the weather from Thursday night through Friday in California. You can check the original post by clicking here.
But there are some changes, especially for Southern California. The cold front dropping south late tomorrow and tomorrow night will have more southwest flow ahead of it than was forecast yesterday. This will probably push up snow levels ahead of that front tomorrow night. They are likely to climb to 4,500 feet or so on south-facing slopes, while on north-facing slopes the snow could fall at levels from 500 to 1,000 feet lower. Those snow levels will start to fall again late tomorrow night and Saturday morning, reaching the levels I talked about yesterday by Saturday midday and afternoon. Rain ahead of the front is also looking to be pretty heavy for a time, mainly later tomorrow night around Los Angeles, and very late tomorrow night through midday Saturday in San Diego.
