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 this camera shows
Sitting at 5,856 feet, this location rests at about the same height as the neighbouring Pequop Eastbound post just up the line, meaning both cameras encounter winter weather at the identical threshold. Without any formal chain-control points published nearby, drivers rely on this specific vantage to gauge whether passing storms are dropping low enough to cover the travel lanes or if precipitation is staying as plain rain.
Because conditions can vary over the grade, watching the live video stream here helps verify if traffic is cruising at highway speeds or crawling through active ground blizzards. When the camera lower down the corridor at 5,748 feet shows clear asphalt, this stretch provides the earliest proof of whether freezing slush and surface accumulation have begun taking hold along the upper elevations.

Chain-control points on I-80
Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:

|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Peak, (@ DRA Holding only) | 7,247 ft | Norden | Clear |
