Storm alerts
A notification on this device when chain control starts, changes or lifts, or a road closes or reopens. Pick your roads:
An alert is a heads-up that something changed, not a road report, and it can arrive a few minutes after the change. Before you drive, check Caltrans QuickMap or Nevada 511 (nvroads.com), or call 511. A few alerts a day at most; no account, no email, and you can turn them off here any time (what we keep).

What to know in winter
Steep enough that it gets controls while US-50 is still clear. Locals use it; visitors often should not.
If it closes: US-50 through Carson City and over Spooner Summit.
This road is NDOT’s, and Nevada’s chain rules are not California’s. There are two conditions rather than three. "Chains or Snow Tires Required" asks for snow tires or traction devices under 10,000 lb, with four-wheel drive on four mud-snow tires acceptable. "Chains Required" means chains on everything except four-wheel drive on four mud-snow tires. There is no Nevada equivalent of R-3. Kingsbury Grade is inside Nevada end to end.
And this road is stricter still. On these roads Nevada goes further than its statewide rule: when a chain requirement is in place, the only vehicles allowed through without chains are four-wheel or all-wheel drive with snow tires.
Textile snow socks count as chains in California and are approved in Nevada, except on three Tahoe roads where NDOT's rule names chains: are snow socks legal in chain controls. Which to buy: cable chains, snow socks or link chains.
