snowdrift

There have been reports of heavy snowdrifts and strong winds in the area.

Sierra-at-Tahoe said on its website that “the storm’s intensity did not let up — in fact it doubled down overnight,” with winds piling up deep snowdrifts that workers were in the process of clearing.

Major roadways leading to the stadium were cleared, with 5-foot snowdrifts lining the roads after they were plowed.

In an emergency where you have an extended power outage, snowdrifts outside your door can be used as a temporary freezer to keep food ready.

Hundreds of cars ground to a halt in snowdrifts.
