Everyone else answered the question....but, if any of you coming from out of town are renting a car or driving, you should if at all possible make it a 4wd.
Seriously, california throws up chain controls after an inch of snow. if you have a 4wd you just bust on through, if not, pull over and attach your chains. it is a big pain in the ass and will cost you valuable time. this is especially true getting to kirkwood.
