As cooler temperatures roll in and the first signs of snow approach in October, homeowners and businesses in South Lake Tahoe need to start thinking about snow removal services. Whether you’re a seasonal resident or live here year-round, staying informed about weather updates, city plowing plans, and private snow removal options is key to staying safe and prepared. Here’s your October 2025 update on Lake Tahoe weather, snow forecast, and how our snow removal team is gearing up for winter.

Latest South Lake Tahoe Weather Forecast (October 2025)

After a warm and dry start to fall, weather patterns are shifting. According to the latest Lake Tahoe weather reports, daytime temperatures this week are in the high 60s, but a cold front is expected by the weekend. Forecasts suggest:

Possible rain and high-elevation snow by Friday night
Snow levels may drop to 8,500 ft by Saturday
A La Niña weather pattern could bring a colder, snowier winter season to Northern California

La Niña typically drives storm tracks toward the Sierra Nevada, potentially leading to more frequent snow events in South Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountain towns.
