NWS just issued a winter weather warning for the next 3 days.
==========================================
.Dangerous Winter Storm to Produce Very Heavy Snow with Strong
Winds and Whiteout Conditions...
.A strong winter storm will bring very heavy snow to the
mountains of northern California. Snow will first arrive to
northwestern Shasta County this afternoon including portions of
I-5 north of Redding, spreading southeast into the southern
Cascades and northern Sierra tonight and Sunday morning. Snow
levels will gradually lower over time through late Monday and
Tuesday. Expect tremendous snow accumulations at pass levels with
yardsticks required for snow measurement. This will results in
significant travel delays with extremely difficult to impossible
travel over the mountains. Strong winds will further reduce
visibilities during this event with whiteout conditions.

Northern Sierra Nevada including Interstate 80 over Donner
Pass, Highway 50 over Echo Summit and Highway 88 over Carson
Pass.
* WHEN...10 PM Saturday to 10 PM Tuesday.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Be prepared for significant reductions in
visibility at times with white-out conditions. Snow levels
will drop to as low as 2000 ft by late Tuesday afternoon or
evening.
