"If you are not already on the road, you might want to delay your trip. We are working several collisions, vehicles spun-out and other traffic issues. Tow trucks are having a hard time getting to calls due to the heavy traffic," according to a statement from the Truckee Police Department.

Police warn those to decide to drive to be prepared for long delays. They also urge drivers to bring food, water, and warm clothes in case they get stuck.
