The other main route is over Donner Pass, primarily by I-80 but some of the earlier highway stretches are still available. You can then reach Lake Tahoe going south from Truckee. Any weather issues would likely impact both routes and the greater area. The Lake Tahoe area is a popular ski resort destination with a number of resorts in the area and I-80 is a major transcontinental highway as well as the route to from the Bay area, Sacramento and Reno and there is a lot of holiday/recreational travel in the area.
Sacramento itself has some interesting areas, around the river, Old Sacramento, the railroad and other museums, some areas of pretty, old, Victorian homes. The "Delta" areas can have some interesting riverside vistas, old bridges. The Gold Rush country around Highway 49 has a number of historic old towns and mining areas dating from the 1849 Gold Rush era.
