Winter Travel Tips for Tahoe City, California

Winter Travel Tips for Tahoe City, California

Winter Travel Tips for Tahoe City, CaliforniaWinter is still officially a little more than 6 weeks away, but today it sure feels like it has begun up here in the Tahoe City, California area.  Today we received our second significant winter storm.

When I went outside today, at around 3 p.m., I had just over 8 inches of new snow on the ground here on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.  It was more than enough for the snow removal company to come over and clear out our driveway!

If you’ll be coming up to the Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area over the next few months, here are a few winter travel tips to keep in mind.

1.)   Fuel/Power – Keep you gas tank full, or your electric vehicle fully charged.  Road closures can happen and you can be stuck in your car for several hours.  Winter storms can wipe out power for several days and the local gas stations can’t pump gas without electricity, so keep your gas tank full.

2.)   Food and Winter Clothing – Travel with food, water, toilet paper, and blankets, just in case you get stuck, or have to wait until the road re-opens.  Have a winter jacket, gloves, hat, and winter boots with you.  If you have to get out of your car, you need to be prepared for the harsh winter mountain climate.

3.)   Snow Chains / Studded Snow Tires – Carry snow chains if your vehicle needs them.  Be sure to have extra cash available to pay someone to put them on and off for you if you’re not comfortable putting them on yourself.  If you use studded snow tires, California allows you to have them on your vehicle from November 1 through April 30 each year.  Mine are already on my vehicle!

4.)   Shovel – Travel with a snow, or regular shovel.  If you get stuck, you may be able to dig yourself free with the right equipment.

5.)   Windshield Fluid – Make sure your windshield wiper fluid supply is full.  You’ll need that fluid to keep your windows clear of road spray.

6.)   Antifreeze – Check the current level, just to make sure your vehicle has the right amount of antifreeze in it.

7.)   Slow Down – Slow down when traveling in poor/bad weather conditions.  Just because you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle with studded snow tires does not mean you get to drive like you are on a race track and ignore the current conditions.  Slow it down, and be safe.
