Slow down, increase following distance, and keep your “why-is-this-happening” screams inside the vehicle. 😅. #CHPTruckee #DonnerSummit #Juneuary #SnowInSummer #SlowYourRoll #StillNotChainSeasonButBeCool

❄️ What’s Going On!!? ❄️. Yesterday was the first day of summer… so naturally, we have snow flakes over Donner Summit. Because June, right? 🤷‍♂️. It’s not sticking, but the roads are slick, so take it easy out there.

🚨 ‼️ Traffic Alert ‼️ 🚨. Heads up, drivers! Expect heavy traffic and delays westbound I-80 as you approach the California Agriculture Inspection Station due to ongoing construction in the area. Give yourself extra time, it’s going to be a slow roll through there for a bit.

And remember…always be prepared, even in the spring, because Donner Summit doesn’t read the script. Drive safe! . (05/12/25 at 9:15pm)

❄️Chain control is UP on I-80 over Donner Summit! ❄️ That means if you’re not in an AWD/4WD with snow tires, you better be chaining up, or you’ll be spending quality time at a chain control checkpoint.

Classic toxic weather relationship: says it’s serious, but only half shows up. Still, don’t let your guard down, carry chains and be prepared in case things escalate. (05/12/25 at 2pm)

“ It’s not you, it’s me…” — Donner Summit (probably). So far, we’ve had some flurries, wet roads, high winds, and commitment issues. We’re starting to think Donner Summit is gaslighting us again. Promised us a storm and now just giving us mixed signals 🥴💔.

Rumor is… winter’s coming back tomorrow ❄️ 🌨️. We’re in May … where it May rain, May snow, or May just gaslight your weather app. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect starting tomorrow morning through Tuesday morning, with 2–3 inches expected over Donner Summit.

this might be the most expensive mess we’ve seen all year 🥚 . Minor injuries only. Lanes are NOT affected, but crews will be working in the area all morning, so watch out for personnel, they’re out there walking on eggshells. (05/01/25 at 4:50am)

This truck really said: “Let’s turn these eggs into street food.” 😳. Early this morning, a big rig hauling eggs flipped into the center median on EB I-80 at Donner Gate, leaving behind one egg-splosive situation. With egg prices the way they are,.
