Time sensitive but check out the sky on the Tahoe cam right now (Palisades Siberia Cam):

Gorgeous pinks, reds, and purples against the fresh snow too.
The only positive from the MLK weekend storm is the potential for upslope for the mountains/ski resorts which really need the snow (especially after yet another cutter).
That could be how the area scores frozen on the front end - either keep the primary from getting too far north (not sure that’s likely as of now) or get some precip to “break off” or get shunted east of the low far enough so we take advantage of the column before we lose it.
Yes…rain to start everywhere but mountains transition to heavy, wet snow (verbatim) from Saturday night on. This thing isn’t set in stone so I expect it could end up a cutter, a redeveloper from TN valley, etc.
