Yea, there may be up to 2 feet of snow at lake level thursday-friday. Bring chains or have snows. I was just up there and it was pretty icy.

Plan to leave early if you're heading up on a Friday when it's snowing, otherwise you'll spend more time idling in chain controls than anything else during the weekend.
I'll also add that since there's a fair chance you'll be stuck in traffic at some point, be sure you re-fuel in Sacramento or somewhere before the Sierra foothills. Heater doesn't work so well when the engine stops.

Q. Can I use tire chains on a Subaru?
A. The best on a Subaru is Spider chains because they don't go inside the wheel well (clearance is an issue). If not Spider, use 'Z' chains. Put chains on the front only (or drive wheels if 2wd) and keep your speed down.
