Don't I wish that Eastern CA was annexed by Nevada!! All our sales tax dollars go there anyway.
You are not alone. Lots of folks from Susanville to Bishop often feel more linked to Nevada than California.
I guess my original comment was that since this road is in California and not Nevada and the chain restrictions don't begin until 25 miles into California and there is no snow in Reno that the CHP might be the ones to share the information to the media on the road conditions. It has nothing to do with where cars get serviced or folks cross the line to eat, etc. The official information I would think would come from the state the road is in, not a neighboring state that is not seeing snow on their portion of IR 80. But, what do I know anyway?
The best information I have found is on the Caltrans website 'California highway conditions' and then click on the road you are interested in and/or you can look at live cams on Donner summit also through this website. It is much more timely than a radio station announcement. I travel IR 80 to Truckee and sometimes Sacramento once a week and their website is the place to get information.
