The lab has recorded 193.7 inches of snow for the month. The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab reported Monday that Tahoe has hit a new December snowfall record with a few snowy days still left on the calendar. Any amount of snow could cause more travel delays, so plan for longer drives and be sure to slow down on icy roads. Light showers may fall any day this week, although Wednesday and Friday are likely to see the most. Snow will continue, but the next wave is expected to be much milder than the weekend's historic storm. "If skies clear at night, morning temperatures may be rather frigid with potential for single digit lows in Western Nevada and well below zero values in Sierra towns," the weather service says. Extremely cold weather is expected, with the National Weather Service anticipating some of the coldest nights in five years. One to 4 more inches of snow is possible around the lake and Carson Ridge, with up to 8 inches possible along the Sierra crest.
