Heavy Snow Forces Closure of I-80 in Sierra Nevada

Interstate 80 is shut down due to vehicle spinouts as a storm brings significant snowfall to the Tahoe region.

California Highway Patrol closed I-80 from Drum Forebay to the Donner Lake Interchange after multiple vehicle spinouts.
Chain controls are in effect on I-80, requiring chains on all four wheels for most vehicles in the affected areas.
Snow levels dropped to 5,000 feet, causing hazardous driving conditions and prompting additional road closures in the Sierra.
The National Weather Service forecasts a dry Tuesday before another storm brings more snow from Wednesday through Saturday.
Drivers are advised to expect travel delays and to prepare for ongoing winter weather conditions in Northern California.
