The CHP did share the conditions. The OP just happened to get the info from a Nevada source. You can bet when I-80 closes at Donner Summit(especially on a Friday!) that thousands of people in Reno are paying attention. Lots of Reno bound money gets stuck on the wrong side of that closure.
This thread is going to a strange conclusion. The westbound lanes were closed not the eastbound lanes. Those coming from California to Nevada were on the eastbound lanes. But, now both directions are open and free flowing so the whole thing is sort of moot.
