Im visiting South Lake Tahoe from Dec 18-22. Im from florida so I dont know what to expect.? -

Is there a good chance it might snow? I want to go skiing but I read the best time was around the beginning of February. Also, how cold will it get because living in Florida, theres no need for heavy winter clothes so I dont know what I should pack for the trip.

There is a very good chance it ll snow - It s been cold enough and it s supposed to be a wet year. Expect daytime highs in the low 40s (maybe in the 30s and 20s if theres a storm) and night-time lows in the 10s to 20s. Heavenly is the big ski area in South Lake and they re already open, so there will be skiing if you want.Pack sweatshirts and sweaters. If you have a heavy coat, definately bring it but if you layer your clothes, you might get away with a lighter jacket as long as you re well insulated underneath. Some type of gloves are good, especially if you want to throw snowballs. And long johns for under your jeans will be good too.
