Shocking footage shared on social media platform X shows the aftermath of a massive blizzard that dumped feet of snow across the Sierra Nevada mountains, which led to the closure of major highways across Northern California and stranded hundreds of vehicles over the last 48 hours.
According to local media outlet 2 News Nevada:
I-80 remains closed from the Nevada State Line to Colfax.
According to a post from Caltrans District 3 on X, I-80 will remain closed for the rest of Sunday. They hope to be able to reopen the road sometime on Monday.
They also shared a picture of traffic leaving the Lake Tahoe Basin on Highway 50. They said traffic is moving very slowly and chain controls are still required.
