Lake Tahoe Commuters’ Trip Stretched 15 Hours in Epic Snow Storm

Record-setting snowfall recently caused an epic traffic jam stretching for miles along a winding road in Lake Tahoe, with cars moving mere feet every hour. Josef de la Vega and his girlfriend, Rachelle, were on vacation in Reno, Nevada, just outside Tahoe, when they found themselves caught in the storm. Josef and Rachelle live and work in California’s Bay Area. It’s a 4-hour drive from Reno in normal times, but with the roads closed due to the epic snow, it took a whopping 15 hours!
