Weather Alert - dang

Ok, posted too soon about weather, as I was only checking Minden. But there's a special weather alert for the exact area I'm passing through...stateline south on Luther Pass (in order to get to Minden, where I pick up 395). Wonder what driving through 2 inches of snow will be like on the fully loaded motorbike? Hmmm.
