Brisk temperatures didn´t stop huge crowds from welcoming in the new year in Reno and at Lake Tahoe. But the merrymakers didn´t stay around long.
At Tahoe, U.S. 50 was closed for the second time yesterday.The highway linking Northern California and northern Nevada was shut down earlier in the day by a blizzard.
