so early. it's not even halloween and we are seeing a lot of snow that came overnight. in fact, these trees out here looking like a lot of christmas trees in december. about a foot of snow. we are definitely seeing that right here. digging down you can see the concrete here. caltrans is paving the roads. we want to get to video now from nyack which is one exit past blue canyon on interstate 80 eastbound. this is a place to pull off get your gas, rest and also chain up. somebody we talked to this morning wasn't really prepared for the conditions. they had to turn around, go back to a china install place, bit chains, go to nyack and put them on. they said they would rather be sleeping. they are miserable. we are at 5,000 feet. the snow began at 4,000 feet, quickly changed from rain to snow. so be careful going over the summit possibly into reno because there's a lot of cars up here that are fishtailing from the rain and sliding as well in the snow. but it is kind of cool to be up here just kind of that sideways blowing snow that stings you in the face. back to you guys. >

halloween. so a lot of people are frustrated that the storm came early. video up the road, nyack there's a gas station where people collect supplies. they get gas, they rest there, big area for truckers. also a place to pull off because there's so much open ground to chain up. chain control is just in effect a few miles up the road but one person we talked to this morning wasn't ready for it yet. had to turn around, go back and buy chains and put them on. conditions are rough up here. 4,000 feet it goes from rain to snow. so a lot of people hydroplaning in the rain and fishtailing in the snow. so you have to be careful being up in the first storm of the year because of all the oil on the asphalt from the summertime. everybody slips an and slides in the rain and snow. over the summit there are construction zones, 55 miles an hour is the speed limit but you will be below 55 because it's treacherous this first winners storm in october. >> getting a little melancholy? >> i think it's a rite of passage when you work in that market. >> reporter: you have to. yo
