Ahead of the heavy snowfall, South Lake Tahoe Police Department posted a warning about driving conditions on their Facebook on Wednesday.
“Make good choices when driving in the snow. Put on your tire chains and know how to use them before you arrive. Put them on the correct tires of your vehicle. Know how to put your car in 4WD. If you’re not comfortable driving in the snow, please stay safe and stay home,” the post stated.
The post continues, suggesting to visit the link on their Facebook for up-to-date road and weather conditions.
