]]> As snow continues to dust Lake Tahoe, this December has seen record-breaking amounts of snowfall not recorded in the Tahoe area for decades.

According to the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab, this snowstorm surpassed December 1970 as the snowiest December ever recorded by the institute Monday afternoon — and as of Tuesday, is nearing the mark for snowiest month ever recorded since 1970 — with more than 202 inches falling this month. The record was 238 inches in the month of January 2017.

Most major throughways in and out of Tahoe continue to be closed indefinitely because of downed trees, roads narrowed by snow, sleet and ice and a litany of other factors. And for the roads that are currently open, chains or snow tires are mandatory.

The National Weather Service’s Reno office said on Twitter that “one last storm” is set to pound Tahoe from Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. The temperature is also expected to descend to a frigid 10 degrees Wednesday night.

“Very cold air moving in, a frigid NYE and possibly another strong winter storm next week,” the office tweeted Tuesday morning. There is also a chance of snow starting next Monday, according to the National Weather Service’s Tahoe forecast.

In the meantime, these photos show the stunning snowfall currently blanketing the Lake Tahoe area. (see source for photos- https://www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/article/Pictures-Lake-Tahoe-set-record-snowiest-month-16734194.php)

    Heavy snowfall in central Japan and along the northern coast isolated communities and cut off power to about 10,000 households, prompting the government to call an emergency meeting on Thursday to address the fallout.

    The heavy snowfall was centred on Niigata and Gunma prefectures, which saw about 2 metres (6.6 feet) of snow over three days, according to public broadcaster NHK.

    Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga was set to attend the emergency meeting with relevant ministries and agencies on Thursday afternoon, his office said.

    The snow has disrupted multiple road and train services since Wednesday and is expected to continue to fall heavily through Friday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. It warned of further traffic disruptions and slippery roads, as well as avalanches.

    About 1,000 vehicles were stranded overnight on highways.

    According to the police, some 300 vehicles were stranded at one point on the Joshinetsu expressway, which connects Niigata and Gunma prefectures, after a truck became unable to move due to the snow on Wednesday night. The gridlock lasted until around 10 am on Thursday.

    In Niigata Prefecture, a line of vehicles stretched for about 15km on the Kanetsu expressway. The congestion was caused after a trailer got stuck in the snow near an interchange in the city of Minamiuonuma on Wednesday night.

    One driver told broadcaster NHK that he and his colleague in the car had been stranded in heavy snow for nine hours.

    “The problem is we cannot go to toilet,” he told NHK.

    Some areas in the country have seen record levels of snow.

    Minakami in Gunma Prefecture had about 190cm over a 48-hour period to Thursday morning, while Yuzawa in Niigata Prefecture saw over 180cm and the city of Uonuma had 88cm.
