New storm Tahoe-bound on heels of snowiest December ever

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The next winter storm on the heels of snowiest December on record at Lake Tahoe is headed into the Sierra and northern Nevada with potentially damaging winds, mountain snow and a few light rain and snow showers in the valleys. The Mount Rose ski resort on the edge of Reno was closed Monday due to high winds. The National Weather Service says snowfall should be modest compared to recent events but blowing snow could make travel difficult. A high-wind warning is in effect until 7 a.m. Tuesday with gusts possible in excess of 100 mph over ridgetops around Lake Tahoe and up to 70 mph in Reno.
