Sierra snowstorm brings I-80 to a halt

Blizzard-like conditions slammed I-80 between Truckee and the Nevada border, turning the highway into a massive parking lot. Drivers faced hours of gridlock as cars spun out and slid off the road, with some folks even getting stuck while trying to help others. This storm isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a real reminder of how quickly winter weather can upend travel plans in the Sierra. If you’ve ever been caught in a snowstorm up here, you know how wild it gets. How do you prep for these sudden closures? Share your tips or stories below! #Transportation #SierraNevada #I80

😉‼️Mother Nature’s got jokes today. I-25 and I-80 are still closed to light high-profile vehicles as those wicked Wyoming winds keep tryin’ to knock folks sideways. Troopers responded to multiple blow-overs in the same spot today — mile marker 279 on I-80 in Carbon County, about seven miles from Arlington. No serious injuries so far, but it’s rough out there.
