Good morning... let's see what's cooking up on Donner Summit!

I see people are still driving, lol.

How much do you bet the highway patrol guy gives him a ticket? He's screwed now. #DonnerSummit #DonnerPass

Steinberg off at Donner Summit again. https://www.youtube.com/live/Mtg-sL6ugXo #CAwx #stormchasing #DonnerSummit

@ai6yr At least there is comfort on #donnersummit knowing there is always nutritious food readily available

Donner Summit is a wee bit busy tonight. But it's moving. #donnersummit #snow #CAwx

Welfare checks on truckers 😬

CHP pounding on the side of a truck trying to determine if the driver is okay or not. #DonnerPass #DonnerSummit #CAwx #snow

This looks like it really, really blows if you are a trucker. #DonnerSummit #blizzard #CAwx #snow #stranded

I hope these truckers packed food. #DonnerSummit #DonnerPass #blizzard #CAwx #snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL9ectO13gA

And the “recovery” begins for the many 18 wheelers stranded on I-80 at #donnersummit #Cawx #blizzard https://youtu.be/sL9ectO13gA?si=gRkK7g_tS1_lBNKB

No reports of cannibalism......this time.

"At one point, emergency personnel and tow trucks had a difficult time getting to motorists due to blizzard conditions. @CaltransDist3
is currently evaluating the roads and we will be working on recovering vehicles left on the freeway after motorists were transported to a safe location. There is no estimated time of reopening the freeway, so we suggest you stay home. Stay warm and don’t put yourself and your family in a dangerous situation." #DonnerPass #DonnerSummit #snow #traffic #CAwx #CHP #truckee

CHP Truckee: "(03/02/24 at 8:30am)

I-80 remains closed at the Nevada state line and Colfax. Last night, we had a mass amount of vehicles stuck over Donner Summit and it took several hours for emergency personnel and tow trucks to reach motorists."

"UPDATE: Hundreds of cars stranded on I-80 near the Donner Summit…blizzard winds and heaviest snow of the storm starting. It’s a race to see if they can clear the interstate before cars get too buried."

Oh my, no more fun watching Donner Pass. Caltrans cameras are offline now (usually, due to power outage/communications outages due to lines down...) #DonnerSummit #CAwx #snow #blizzard

Stuck on a highway
You're going to be here all night long
No one's going no where
You're going to be there all night long

Ouch. Caltrans Quickmap shows traffic stopped entirely over the pass. Another area, 3 vehicles stuck in the road, and somebody abandoned their snowmobile in lanes. #DonnerSummit #CAwx #blizzard #snow https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/

Seems like things are getting worse up there at Donner Summit. Visibility dropping dramatically... #DonnerSummit #Blizzard #CAwx #snow

Looks like party guests are getting out of their vehicles... I-80 at Castle Peak also stopped. #DonnerSummit #CAwx #blizzard

And it begins... traffic is stopped at Donner Summit, in the middle of a blizzard. #CAwx #blizzard #tahoe #DonnerSummit

RT @twodc: Snow making a 3 story house look like a dollhouse. #cawx #California #snow #donnersummit https://t.co/psEeF5wt4A

The alpenglow on Castle Peak was lit last night.
