02:13That's the easy way out.

02:15That's the easy way.

02:17That's the big way.

02:18So, we are at the pool near Lake Tahoe, and it is snowing today.

02:36Today is June 21st.

02:38Alert California cameras captured blue skies for most of the day,

02:43before a storm system moved through the area around 3 p.m.,

02:46dropping snow in the area, before blue skies returned, about an hour later.

02:52The weather channel said 80 degrees, it was 30, and now it's snowing.

02:59Yes!

03:00When we got up this morning, it said 30 degrees, recently it said 50, and now it's snowing.

03:06Fun.

03:07Fun.

03:08Holy shit.

03:09CBS Sacramento's first alert weather team tracked 45 mph winds in the area as a patch of moisture

03:20moved south over Lake Tahoe.

03:22Holy shit.

03:23Holy shit.

03:24Holy shit.

03:25The sheriff's boat's off.

03:27Whoa.

03:28The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, California State Parks, South Lake Tahoe Police Department,

03:33and others are assisting in the incident.

03:37The sheriff's office said the search operations will resume Sunday morning.

03:53DL Bliss State Park is about 10 miles northwest of South Lake Tahoe and just north of Emerald Bay.

04:00The EDSO dive team and search and rescue will return to the area of DL Bliss State Park on

04:06Sunday morning to continue search operations.

04:09An EDSO spokesperson said they received multiple reports of a capsized boat in South Lake Tahoe

04:15near DL Bliss State Park Saturday afternoon.

04:38Callers indicated that approximately 10 individuals were in the water near the vessel, with reported

04:43wave heights reaching 8 feet during 30 knot winds.

04:47EDGOSO, in coordination with local emergency response partners, immediately responded to the area.

05:03The 10 passengers were on board a gold 27-foot Chris Craft vessel.

05:10Busy falcats, with a fazer gallating.

05:13The 7-foot pequeños are in the water near the vessel.

05:16The 100 passengers were on board a gold 27-foot express warning.

05:18The 1-foot employee sent the water to the boat.

05:21The 6-foot- 한�jubus for another time for the tank.

05:22The 2-foot people at the side aboard a blue-2-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-1-1-2-2-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-2-1-2-1.

05:23So far it can be confirmed that the USCG and California State Parks responded to DL Bliss

05:47State Park after a seasonal lifeguard and ranger saw people in the water.

05:52They were able to get two onto the nearby rocks and start performing CPR.

05:58It's a beautiful day, beautiful day in case anyone's wondering, there's been a few loose

06:15boats.

06:16There's about three of them there.

06:18There's another sailboat that's come off of the dinghy over there, so great day.

06:25As the Coast Guard arrived, they saw another person in the water and the lifeguard swam

06:31to assist.

06:33The person in the water and the lifeguard were pulled onto the Coast Guard boat and transported

06:41to Leicester Beach.

06:42EMS arrived at the beach, but that person was pronounced deceased, said the USCG.

06:48The identities of the deceased will not be released until next-of-kin notifications have

06:52been made.

06:53The EDSO helicopter was circling the beach, reportedly searching for people still missing in the lake,

07:00and as of 9 p.m., a USCG airplane is in the area.

07:04Witnesses on the lake said around 3 p.m., the wind suddenly came from the north, creating

07:11eight-to-ten-foot troughs.

07:34But Captain Joby Cefalu said that size is worse than 30-foot waves on the sea.

07:39He helped set up a triage at the Tahoe Keys Marina office to help with hypothermia victims,

07:45and said the Keys staff were all rock stars working hard to get people to safety.

07:50He's been on the lake for a few decades and had never seen it as bad as it was on Saturday.

07:55It was a very, very tragic day on Lake Tahoe, said Cefalu.
