When an East Wind Blows across Tahoe: Rime

What causes east winds? A high-pressure (dense) pool of cold air settles in over the Great Basin, which is east and north of Lake Tahoe. When there is a low-pressure area over Southern California, it sucks the dry, heavy, cold air from the Great Basin down into the southland. (Air moves from high-pressure areas to lower-pressure areas.)
