Some Lake Tahoe ski resorts are reporting over 1 foot of snow Wednesday morning, Jan. 16, less than 24 hours into several days of winter storms.
Snow started falling late Tuesday morning, Jan. 15, and continued throughout the day. After a brief break, snowfall picked back up Wednesday morning.
Here are the 24-hour totals reported by resorts in the South Lake Tahoe and Incline Village areas for Jan. 16:

According to the National Weather Service in Reno, the heaviest snowfall in this week’s series of storms is expected to hit Wednesday night, Jan. 16, and throughout Thursday, Jan. 17, with winter storm warnings and blizzard warnings in effect, meaning the day 1 snow totals could be a mild foreshadowing of what is to come.
