Recently, our friends at Truckee Police posted about not leaving food in your vehicles because the bears will get into the vehicle and destroy the interior while looking for the food. It’s that time of the year and bears are on the hunt for food and are everywhere in the neighborhoods and on the roads, so keep on eye out for them will driving on the roads. The video below was provided by one of our Truckee locals @Bryan L. showing one of our furry friends trying to get some snacks.... Even if these cute little guys/girls walk up to your house, ring the doorbell, try to sell you magazines, don’t fall for the trick and don’t feed them. #chptruckee #truckee #watchoutforbears #dontfallforthetrick #dontfeedthem

Double rainbow BEFORE the storm, is that a good thing or a bad thing?? Thoughts? Either way, please plan ahead for winter travel this weekend so you can get to that pot of gold safely. #chptruckee #truckee #wintertime #snow #planahead #wearemeluckycharms

And so it begins!! It looks like winter weather will return this weekend. Not expecting more than a few inches of snow, but these types of storms can go sideways and turn into something way bigger. Make sure you plan ahead, prep your vehicle, slow down, and increase your following distance. Our neighbors over at CHP - South Lake Tahoe made a video with great winter driving tips. #chptruckee #chpsouthlaketahoe #chpvalleydivision #snow #slowdown #herewegoagain #drivesafe #doyouwanttobuildasnowman
