South Lake Tahoe sees 1st snowfall of the season

LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (KGO) -- Here's a much different scenario than what we've seen in South Lake Tahoe recently.

Check out this view of town and the snowfall coming down on Monday.

After a very dry summer and the flames from the Caldor Fire, the season's first snow dusted Tahoe with a nice layer of powder.

There was enough to require chains along Highway 50 between Twin Bridges and Meyers.

Many drivers were caught off guard without them, so traffic was brought to a standstill in many places.
