A powerful winter storm clobbered the Sierra and northern Nevada with heavy snow and high winds Friday, closing schools and businesses and making travel treacherous from one end of the state to the other -- with still more snow in the forecast.

Winds in excess of 100 mph were recorded over the highest ridges of the Sierra near Lake Tahoe, where as much as 10 feet of new snow was expected at the higher elevations by the time a series of storms is expected to move out Monday night.

The potent storm churning in from the Pacific even brought a rare snowfall to the Las Vegas Strip on Friday, with some parts of the oasis city reporting up to 2 inches of snow.
