At this time it's raining at Tahoe and we're getting some gusty wind. The temperature has dropped some so maybe it'll change to snow soon.

Rained all night at lake level.

I noticed the Reno NWS has issued a special weather statement for Sunday. Didn't read the whole thing so I'm not sure what all it says.
