Something is dreadfully wrong here

I just got a SacBee news update:
Interstate 80 is closed because of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada, with the westbound freeway shut to all vehicles at Colfax and eastbound lanes closed at the Nevada-California state line.
Um, Colfax is west of the high part of the Sierras and the state line is east of it. I'm expecting to see a lot of traffic backed up right in the snow.

At least the actual news story got it right.

How does I-5 through the central valley look? We're leaving Springfield headed for Sun Diego on Sunday, stopping in Stockton for the night.

Looks okay right now. Your biggest problems (if any) will be the Siskiyous and the Grapevine, so be sure to check the Caltrans page.

Only the Oregon side of the Siskyous really scares me, and we're avoiding it by taking 97 through K-Falls to Shasta.
