Several school districts in greater Lake Tahoe area close for the day amid heavy snow
Several school districts in the greater Lake Tahoe area and foothills were closed Thursday as snow dumped in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
All Tahoe-Truckee Unified, Lake Tahoe Unified and Pollock Pines Elementary School District campuses were closed for the day due to snow and hazardous travel conditions, according to those school districts’ websites.
It was not immediately clear whether the campuses would reopen Friday. Forecasters predicted between 1 to 3 feet of snow above elevations of 2,000 feet between Wednesday night and Friday morning, with snowfall expected to ease up before sunrise Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
A second storm system is inbound this weekend, also expected to bring heavy snow Saturday and Sunday. Snowfall is forecast to drop to showers by Monday, falling at elevations above 3,000 feet.
