Palisades Tahoe's unique geographic position near the Sierra Crest seems to have done wonders during this storm. While the resort is only reporting two inches more than nearby Northstar, don't be surprised when Palisades' totals jump significantly over the weekend. Wax the pow skis, it's time to sample Palisades' iconic terrain.

A winter storm warning goes into effect late Tuesday for the Tahoe region and the I-80 corridor. Hazardous winter driving conditions are expected.
