Wow. As soon as I saw Truckee mentioned, I knew it was a weather related event.

Used to fly in/out of Truckee frequently many years ago. I would take students up there for moutain training in helicopters. Very unforgiving airspace for an airplane in bad weather.
Life may not be the party you hoped for, but while you're here, you may as well dance.

Pretty unforgiving for ground vehicles too, as you try to get through Donner Pass. And on foot, as the party after which the pass is named discovered.
