What? It's nicer than that here in MI. Only the low 50's today but sunny, supposed to be around 70 by the weekend.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Winds gusting more than 100 mph have left thousands without electricity in Reno and caused travel havoc across northern Nevada.

The California Highway Patrol closed part of westbound Interstate 80 north of Lake Tahoe on Tuesday morning after wind flipped a truck on its side and snow began to fall. As much as a foot of snow was expected in the upper elevations by Wednesday.

About 5,000 homes and businesses were without power in Reno, where wind ripped off shingles, blew a school bus' door off its hinges and uprooted hundreds of trees, including a 70-foot-tall pine.

Reno-Tahoe International Airport recorded sustained winds up to 63 mph, and more than a dozen flights were canceled. One gust topped 125 mph near the Mount Rose Ski Resort between Reno and Tahoe.

(AP & KTVN) -- Winds gusting more than 100 mph have left thousands without electricity in Reno and are wreaking havoc on travel throughout the Sierra Nevada.

The California Highway Patrol closed part of westbound Interstate 80 north of Lake Tahoe early today (Tuesday) after wind flipped a truck on its side and snow began to fall. As much as a foot of snow was expected in the upper elevations by tomorrow.

Washoe County schools remain open and WCSD emergency personal have asked administrators to keep students inside and off the playground throughout this severe weather situation.

Right now, 2,000 customers remain without power in the old southwest Reno (Hunter Lake, Cal Ave) area by Reno High. There are also still smaller, isolated outages around town.

NV Energy's Karl Walquist told us that "anytime we have wind we have trees that get into power lines...power poles get broken like they were today in Carson Valley. It creates havoc, because a lot of our facilities are above ground."

The weather is also affecting air travel into Reno/Tahoe International Airport. At least 16 flights were cancelled today.

The control tower measured winds up to 70 mph. But it's not the high winds that cancelled flights...it's their unpredictability. Planes are more vulnerable to wind storms…with heavy snowfall the airport can just push it off the runways and taxiways. But with wind, you just have to wait for it to subside.

Winds are expected to die down by Tuesday night as precipitation moves into the region.

Temperatures Wednesday are expected to be in the upper 40s, or about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than on Tuesday.

The area will see a chance of rain on Tuesday, with more rain on Wednesday and a slight chance of snow. The storm is expected to remain in the Reno area through Saturday.

On some forums the mods would warn you about 'off topic' replies or move this post to the new weather forum.
