Another winter storm packing heavy snow and powerful winds was making its way Friday toward the Sierra, with as much as 2 to 4 feet of snow expected in the upper elevations around Lake Tahoe over the weekend.
At Tahoe, as much as 18 to 28 inches of snow is forecast through the weekend at lake level, and up to 4 feet at elevations above 7,000 feet with 50 mph winds and gusts up to 100 mph.

"It's a massive operation. We have hundreds and hundreds of maintenance employees that are trained," O'Connell said.
