114 MPH Wind Gust In Snowy Sierra; Storm Heads East
Packing winds in excess of 100 mph (160 kph), a fast-moving winter storm that dumped about a half-foot of snow on the Sierra Nevada made its way Wednesday across the northeast part of the state where the forecast called for icy roads and several inches of blowing and drifting snow. A winter weather advisory was set to expire at 4 p.m. in Lander, Eureka and Elko counties but remained in effect through 10 p.m. Wednesday in White Pine County, where 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) of snow was expected at Great Basin National Park along the Utah line.
