Foot of snow expected in Sierra overnight

Nearly 2 feet of snow could fall in the Sierra tonight. Anywhere from 8 to 20 inches of snow are expected to fall overnight with meteorologists saying Carson Pass and Mt. Rose Summit may hit the snow jackpot. South Lake Tahoe’s shores will see just 3 inches. As you wake up to snow, you’ll also see gusty winds. But don’t expect the storm to push ski resorts to open fully-they need colder weather, and temps will be in the fifties this week.
