Sunday's storm has brought enough snow to the Sierra to close Interstate 80 between Truckee and Baxter, due to heavy snow and spin-outs in the Gold Run area, according to the CHP Truckee account on Twitter.
Chain control was put in effect around 10:30 p.m., as snow was falling "wet and heavy," according to the CHP. A little more than an hour later, the CHP shut down the highway and said drivers headed to the area should "find an alternate route to get over the mountains tonight."
