Good morning Carson City and happy Saturday! It’s going to be a bit breezy today with 14 mph winds, partly cloudy skies and a high of 61 degrees. Low will be 39.

Vikingsholm, (literally meaning Viking island in the middle of a lake) named after its creator’s love of Scandinavia and viking culture, is a mansion on the shore of Emerald Bay, boasting 30 rooms and perfectly reconstructed viking treasures.

Lake Tahoe, she said, reminded her of the fjords and mountains of Scandinavia. Knight wanted to build a summer home that was reminiscent of the culture.
