chain control this week

Usually I've been fine having 4x4 + snow rated tires (33" duratracs).

However, we're about to get a LOT of snow this week. Has anyone seen DOT enforce R3 (chains/no exceptions) on 80, 50, or 89?

 

If 4x4 are required to have chains then nobody is getting through.

 

Yeah.. makes sense to just shut it down at that point

 

The only time I ever see R3 is on smaller roads. If 50,80, or the like are that bad they are just closed.

 

I took 89 to 88 from South Lake Tahoe back to the Bay Area last night. I saw a sign indicating 89 was closed (possible south of Alpine Village?) . 4x4 with snow rated was ok.

 

88 gets temporarily closed, at Kirkwood, for avalanche control at least once per season.
It could happen in the next 48 hours

 

Highway 50 two years ago had R3... I came back from Tahoe this weekend (R2)when the storm started. 7.5 hours on highway 80. Ill be headed back up Friday night. Hopefully its not to bad.

 

Supposedly they are shutting down I-5 Shasta north. I'm parked.

 

They should just do what they do for MET and skip plowing.

 

Doesn't help when your trying get through with this.
