RENO, Nev. (AP) — Heavy snow in the Sierra is delighting Lake Tahoe area ski resorts, but causing headaches for drivers across the region and northern Nevada.

A winter storm warning for the Lake Tahoe region and Reno area remains in effect through 10 p.m. Monday. The National Weather Service says higher elevations could receive an additional 2 feet of snow by Tuesday night.

Chains or snow tires were required on all trans-Sierra highways, including Interstate 80 and U.S. 50.

Travel restrictions also were posted for U.S. 395 through Washoe Valley, and for several hundred miles north of Reno into California.
