More snow could be on the way to the northern Sierra Nevada this week, bringing an early taste of winter to the region. Precipitation is expected Tuesday through Thursday throughout the region, with snow levels dropping as low as 8,000 feet Wednesday night, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service . That would bring snow to some of the Sierra's highest peaks, including Freel Peak (10,881 feet), Mount Rose (10,776 feet), Jobs Peak (10,633 feet) and Slide Mountain (9,702 feet). That's roughly in line with typical years, which see the first measurable Sierra snowfall in October. The storm system could hinder travel on State Route 431 over Mount Rose Summit (8,946 feet) and State Route 88 over Carson Pass (8,573 feet). With an elevation of 7,056 feet, Interstate 80 over Donner Pass likely would stay snow-free, according to the forecast.

Tahoe is in a cold snap this week, with temperatures dropping enough for snow to reach the area's mountaintops and for one ski resort to start snowmaking. But while the early taste of winter may have some residents wondering whether a big snow season is ahead, forecasters say it's too soon to draw conclusions from a single cold stretch.
