Injuries reported in 20 car pileup during whiteout conditions in Nevada

Up to 20 cars were involved in a crash in northwestern Nevada, with drivers reporting whiteout conditions, according to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.

Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue, which responded to the Sunday morning pileup, said at least three people were taken to the hospital in unknown condition.

"Conditions are extreme in the Washoe Valley with 50 mph winds and white out conditions," the department said in a post to Twitter.

The National Weather Service Office in Reno said in a Twitter post that "Today is the type of day to just stay home if you can," with more snow on the way.

"Quite the wintery morning across the region! Expect major travel delays on all roads. Strong winds are creating areas of considerable blowing snow and whiteout conditions," NWS Reno said..........

While it is 84 here with the AC on.  We are an amazing country of meteorological extremes.

We had the AC on as well today. Our temps are supposed to be in the 80's for the next week. I definitely don't mind at all.

How many of those cars were AWD with owners who think the winter-wonderland car ads are a true reflection of how these cars will handle in the snow?
