CARSON CITY — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval issued the following statement Friday regarding the 2019-2021 budget building process and priorities:

Governor-elect Sisolak and the First Lady are honored to announce a statewide art competition for students from kindergarten through 5th grade.

“For me, home means Nevada because it’s where I’ve raised my two incredible daughters," said Governor-elect Steve Sisolak. "This year, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet Nevadans across the state, and learn why home means Nevada to them. Now, it’s your turn. Whether it’s your family and neighbors, your school and friends, Nevada’s great outdoors, or anything in between — show off your creativity and why home means Nevada to you!”

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Nevada state capital, and there is no shortage of holiday events and activities to make the season bright.

With winter weather having arrived, it seems only appropriate the last Friday of November is when Carson City celebrates the holiday season in a big way by ringing in the spirit of giving with the annual Silver and Snowflakes Festival of Lights.

Good day Carson City, it is Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018. With steady rain in the city early this morning, slushy snow in the foothills and heavy snow in the Sierra, we are on our way to winter even though it is still technically fall. It sure is beginning to look like Christmas, especially as we head into the weekend, with Friday's Silver and SnowFlakes Festival of Lights at the capitol and Saturday's downtown Holiday Crawl.

For most, waking up this morning to rain was a big relief given the fire situation over the past few months. Today is Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018. The storm systems will continue over the next few days with the possibility of snow down to the valley floors by Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. As always, be safe out there.
