The most powerful California blizzard of the season pounded the Sierra Necvada with gusts up to 190 mph , while heavy snow on March 2 forced the closure of key roads to the Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Mountain areas, the Yahoo News website reports.
The main road to Mammoth Mountain ski resort , Highway 395, was shut down in both directions -- to the south, toward Southwern California, and to the north, toward Reno.
The 75-mile stretch was closed from northwest of Bishop in Inyo County to Bridgeport in Mono County, "due to multiple spinouts and collisions, as well as whiteout conditions," the Calif. Dept. of Transportation said.
