More than 10 feet of snow was expected at higher elevations, National Weather Service meteorologist William Churchill said Saturday, creating a “life-threatening concern” for residents near Lake Tahoe and blocking travel on the east-west freeway. He called the storm an “extreme blizzard” for the Sierra Nevada but said he didn’t expect records to be broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s certainly just about as bad as it gets in terms of the snow totals and the winds,” Churchill said. “It doesn’t get much worse than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm began barreling into the region Thursday. A blizzard warning through Sunday morning covered a 300-mile stretch of the mountains. A second, weaker storm was forecast to bring an additional 1 to 2 feet of snow in the region between Monday and Wednesday next week, according to the National Weather Service office in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie Kocher, a forestry advisor for the University of California Cooperative Extension, lives in the community of Meyers in South Lake Tahoe and said it snowed nonstop since Thursday. She measured the snowpack at 4.5 feet today and said the region is still forecasted to receive between 2–3 more feet by Monday. While she hasn’t seen many people walking or driving down her street, everyone around her still has power. She said the snow has been easier to manage compared to last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing that’s different about this snowstorm compared to last year [is that] last year was a really harsh year,” Kocher said. “We had somewhere around 45 feet of snow at my house. It lasted all winter long; there were just constant snowstorms, and it was a lot of work to dig out. And it didn’t stop very often. So this isn’t quite as bad as that yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colin McCarthy, an Atmospheric Science student at UC Davis who runs a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/US_Stormwatch\">storm watch account\u003c/a> on X, formerly known as Twitter, said it has been snowing in Truckee for 72 hours straight, and “the sun has not come out once.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many Truckee locals say this is the most impressive blizzard they have ever seen in town,” McCarthy said. “We have seen extreme blizzard conditions covering the storm the last three days where, at times, you can’t see even 5 feet in front of you. A small avalanche just occurred on Highway 50, meaning there is no west options out of Tahoe now. This is a storm many won’t forget for a while.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near Lake Tahoe, the Alibi Ale Works brewpub and restaurant was one of the few businesses open on Saturday. Bartender Thomas Petkanas said about 3 feet of snow had fallen by midday, and patrons were shaking off snow as they arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s snowing pretty hard out there, really windy, and power is out to about half the town,” Petkanas said by telephone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California authorities on Friday shut down 100 miles of I-80, the main route between Reno and Sacramento, because of “spin outs, high winds, and low visibility.” There was no estimate when the freeway would reopen from the California-Nevada border west of Reno to near Emigrant Gap, California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rudy Islas spent about 40 minutes shoveling his car out before heading to work at a coffee shop in Truckee, California, on Sunday morning.

But if you have some flexibility, then you can also utilize last-minute camping options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hit the road and cruise for reservation-free spots\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where we once more must shout out \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11920867/how-to-find-free-camping-in-californias-national-forests\">the benefits of dispersed camping and backpacking\u003c/a>. If you make a list of possible campsites, then you can hit them up on the road until you find one that’s open — just remember to download an offline map of the area using a service like Google Maps, in case you lose cellphone service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Want a weekend spot? Try making a booking that starts a few days before\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because reservations can fill up three or six months in advance (depending on the campground), many industrious campers will book a spot starting Wednesday or Thursday that extends through the weekend. This approach allows you to get into the reservation system earlier and book the weekend before it fills up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if you’re trying this, it’s important to know the deadline by which you need to arrive at your campsite — so you don’t lose your spot. For example, Moreno said, state parks require you to be there by noon the day after your arrival date — and you need to actually call the park if you’re going to be late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Be vigilant for cancellations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flip side of that coin is a surprising number of people don’t actually use their hard-earned reservations. \u003ca href=\"https://fox5sandiego.com/news/california-news/california-campsite-reservation-bill-passes-state-assembly/\">A bill currently in the state Legislature\u003c/a> would incentivize people to cancel their reservations early, opening them up to others. Right now, though, you can use the reservation website to look for last-minute cancellations or call the campgrounds to find out whether there are no-shows. (Or, if you’re an adventurous person with flexibility, you can also just show up — and hope someone else doesn’t.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t want to keep pressing refresh? \u003ca href=\"https://campnab.com/\">The site Campnab lets you know if a cancellation opens up.\u003c/a> (Yes, this service is something of a bot – but it doesn’t book the reservation for you, rather just tells you when it opens up.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Know about day-of spots and walk-in sites\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Point Reyes National Seashore, for example, holds back a handful of campsites to give out each day. \u003ca href=\"https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233359?tab=info\">These four spots open up online at 7 a.m.\u003c/a> for camping later that day, so you still need to reserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for walk-ins, \u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=22230\">many popular campgrounds operate first-come, first-serve sites\u003c/a>, which you can typically claim if you get there by noon — but if you want the site for a busy weekend, then you probably need to be there on Friday morning.

After the state parks moved to a third-party online reservation system called \u003ca href=\"https://www.reservecalifornia.com/Web/\">Reserve California\u003c/a> in 2017, many campers did complain about bots automatically snapping up spots faster than a human could click a button. But Moreno says that’s why, in 2019, that site’s parent company, Reserve America, added a captcha and verification step to the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>In 2021, to be sure the new methods were effective, they did an analysis of the reservation IPs and time stamps. “It was determined that automated bots were no longer an issue,” he said. Additionally, any account caught using bots or reselling reservations now earns a ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s the case, then why are so many campsites still already full the second they open up for reservations?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Demand is greater than inventory,” Moreno said. For some of the most popular spots — like \u003ca href=\"https://www.reservecalifornia.com/Web/#!park/682/766\">the cabins at Steep Ravine in Mount Tamalpais State Park\u003c/a> — there might be 100 people logging on for one of eight cabins. “It’s really like a lottery,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how can you find a campsite near you?

This approach allows you to get into the reservation system earlier and book the weekend before it fills up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if you’re trying this, it’s important to know the deadline by which you need to arrive at your campsite — so you don’t lose your spot. For example, Moreno said, state parks require you to be there by noon the day after your arrival date — and you need to actually call the park if you’re going to be late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Be vigilant for cancellations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flip side of that coin is a surprising number of people don’t actually use their hard-earned reservations. \u003ca href=\"https://fox5sandiego.com/news/california-news/california-campsite-reservation-bill-passes-state-assembly/\">A bill currently in the state Legislature\u003c/a> would incentivize people to cancel their reservations early, opening them up to others. Right now, though, you can use the reservation website to look for last-minute cancellations or call the campgrounds to find out whether there are no-shows.
