"Massive Winter Storm to Blanket Sierra Nevada with 10 Feet of Snow"
TL;DR Summary
A powerful Pacific storm is forecast to bring up to 10 feet of snow into the Sierra Nevada by the weekend, prompting closures of Yosemite National Park and a Lake Tahoe ski resort. The storm is expected to cause blizzard conditions, with winds gusting over 115 mph and significant snowfall in the region. Backcountry avalanche warnings are in place, and travel restrictions have been imposed on Interstate 80. While the storm will provide much-needed snowpack for California's water supply, it also poses challenges for the ski industry and travelers in the area.
