It’s finally snowing at Lake Tahoe!

It was sunny yesterday, reminding us that there are two types of people who predict weather in the mountains: Damn Tourists and Damn Fools. It started about 5:00 AM, and by the time we were up, we needed 4X4 and chains to safely negotiate the snow-clogged roads. Installing our Pewag Cross-Link chains, (www.pewagchain.com), on the aggressive Michelin XZLs in a blowing blizzard was good practice. The big lugs on the XZLs were no match for hard-packed snow and ice. Chains were mandatory.
