Looks like it is about 4 miles southeast of me. I'm not a big Chinese food eater, but I am sure I will find something on the menu to try out.Jim

The closure East bound starts at Colfax. You can refuel, eat, and turn around to go back towards Sacramento. Maybe detour to Lincoln where you can get a room at the casino. From what I recall, 50 to Tahoe usually closes near a casino also. That way you can unwind and wait out the storm in comfort. When I was a kid, we literally sat in the car, on the side of the road, because there were no California casinos. The biggest advantage is the bathroom. Very difficult for the girls to pee in the snow. I didn't care. I stepped out of the car and peed freely.

Anybody stupid enough to try 50 in this weather deserves what they get!🤬
20 and 49 are both closed in the foothills to everything but local traffic. I hate wayze for sending drivers down roads that CAN NOT support Commercial vehicles.

With my Garmin GPS, I can enter the length, height, and weight of my vehicle. It routes me according. If I am driving a truck instead of a passenger vehicle, it takes me to the right roads and warns if I am driving on a road that the truck is not supposed to be on. Most commercial drivers know truck routes, have similar technology, and maybe even an old fashioned Thomas Guide. But the rest of the public is using phone apps which are a work in progress. I am surprised that nobody's contacted Google about those roads. Google owns both Google Maps and Waze.

It looks like Google Maps and Google Waze technology is incorporated into the Department of Transportation mapping system. Maybe there needs to be more work done with the system.
