And I80 closed from Colfax to the Nevada state line in both directions due to zero visibility and a full-on blizzard.

Snowing 3in per hour and wind over 50MPH.

Even the Union Pacific rail line from Reno to Sacramento is closed due to washouts.

Highway 50 closed above Sacramento to Lake Tahoe due to blizzard and avalanche warnings.

And it’s all coming YOUR way...
