    "There is a high chance (over 70%) of substantial, long-lasting
    disruptions to daily life in the higher elevations of the Sierra
    Nevada Friday to Sunday where blizzard conditions and 5-12 ft of snow
    (and locally higher) are expected," the weather service's Weather
    Prediction Center warned.

    The numbers meteorologists are including in their forecasts are
    staggering

    Major interstate closed as dangerous winter storm pummels the Sierra
    Nevada

    A dangerous blizzard expected to bring up to 10 feet of snow to parts
    of the Sierra Nevada has forced the closure of Yosemite National Park,
    at least nine Lake Tahoe ski resorts and a major interstate and
    disrupted power to thousands.

    The California Highway Patrol said it shut down a more-than-50-mile
    stretch of Interstate 80 at 5 p.m. PT on Friday from the
    California-Nevada state line west of Reno to a small California
    reservoir northeast of Sacramento.
