Snowstorm

As a result of the impending snowstorm, all schools in the Carson City School District will be closed for the entire day Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021. The National Weather Service is predicting one of the most impactful winter storms in recent years to hit our area. Periods of heavy snow and strong winds are expected tonight. The storm threatens to be disruptive to travel throughout the region.

A 24-year-old Carson City woman was arrested in the 500 block of N Street Thursday morning for two felony child abuse offenses, and two gross misdemeanor offenses for child neglect / endangerment.

According to the report, Jenna Noelle Hix was arrested following a report of two young children screaming for their mother just before 2 a.m. The reporting party stated they were unsure if the mother of the children was home.

Local photographer Margaret Dziolek snapped this amazing shot of a mother and foal during the recent snowstorm.

The first winter snowstorm of 2020 has passed, and there shouldn’t be any more precipitation coming as the storm continues to move east.

The weather today will have a high of 38 and a low of 24, with partly sunny skies. The winds have also died down, with a breezy 4-5 mph being the top out for the day.

Northern Nevada Lecturer Mike Thomas has rescheduled his “Future War” presentation for Saturday, March 9 at Western Nevada College’s Jack C. Davis Observatory in Carson City. Friday will feature a discussion on "Myths and Legends."

Days after President Kennedy was assassinated, Frank Sinatra, Jr., just barely an adult, was in the midst of a tour getting his music career off the ground.

On his tour during a snowy Tahoe December, he performed at the Harrah’s Club Lodge in Lake Tahoe.

Little did he know he had a few followers trailing him from city to city, and they weren’t hopeful fans, but instead, hopeful foes.

Good morning, Carson City, and welcome to the start of a brand-new week! Now that we've dug ourselves out of another heavy weekend snowstorm, we are ready to take on the days ahead.

But be careful on the roads this morning and watch for areas of black ice. Just because asphalt looks bare doesn't mean it is.

The big early February snowstorm dropped 13 inches of fresh snow on Carson City's University Heights neighborhood.

We finally had a big snowstorm, but what did it really mean for this year's snow pack and summer water supplies?

Bus Stop, the Pulitzer Prize winning play by William Inge is scheduled for one more weekend at the Brewery Arts Center’s MHJ Black Box Theater in Carson City beginning this Friday night.

With more than six inches on the ground already in places around Carson City, the area is about to get hit again with an even stronger winter storm very early Sunday morning through Monday morning.

Another potent winter storm blast will slam into Carson City, western Nevada and Sierra beginning Saturday night that could bring up to 14 inches of snow in the valleys and several feet in the mountains, according to the National Weather Service.

In “Train to Danger,” railroad heiresses, the Pullman sisters, are stranded in a snowstorm in Hidden Gulch. Handsome engineer, Tom Truetrack is to see to their safety during their trip home.

There are few stories that fascinate the public like the story of the Donner Party, the group of emigrants who got caught in a snowstorm in 1846-1847 in the Sierra Nevada and some members of the party resorted to cannibalism to avoid starvation.

We love the Christmas season. As we've noted with most cultural traditions, though, Christmas holds different meanings for folks depending on their time, place and circumstances.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada and Northern California. This report is for the week of May 6 and beyond.

Whether you are young or old, Christmas is an enjoyable time of the year. Christmas has always been and will always be very special to me. It has been a holiday occasion that, through the years, our family has enjoyed here in Carson City or at the Quilici Cabin near Davis Lake, Calif.

Hopefully Eagle Lake, California, is looking like this wintry foggy scene today. Carson City received some morning snow,and hopefully it snowed much more in the High Sierra.
This beautiful large lake is now almost dry, and we need another good winter of snow for the lake to fill up with water again. This photo was taken at Eagle Lake a few years ago, right after a snowstorm. Eagle Lake is about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Carson City. It's an easy trip, from Carson City north up 395 to Susanville, then west on Hwy 36, climbing to the lake.

Pretty soon we all will face this. Beauty and cold. Our dawn mornings will again be snow filled and quiet, all over Carson City, and in Mills Park. This photograph was taken right after a overnight snow storm at sunrise in Mills Park a few years ago.
Back in the day, Mills Park once served as our municipal golf course. Now it's home to a host of activities. The great rock band Three Dog Night played in the Marv Teixeira Pavilion in 1994 when the his pavilion opened. It was a great show. A great free show!

No matter how you do it, either by asking, wishing or praying, we need snow. Lots of snow. Feet of deep snow this winter. Elaine and I took a ride last Sunday to take some photos in Alpine County, and we also took our fishing equipment if we decided to fish somewhere.

We were undecided as to where to fish, but thought that we would check out some of the waters along State Route 88 and at other spots. As it turned out, we did not fish and for a darn good reason.

UPDATE: An accident was reported at 5:01 p.m. in the northbound lane of Highway 395 at Highway 50. NHP reports no serious injuries.

UPDATE: Southbound traffic at Hot Springs and Roop in Carson City is closed due to several spinouts as of 3:26 p.m. Traffic is backed up in the area, with snowplows and sanders making their way to clear the road.

An accident reported at I-580 and Eastlake is causing traffic problems extending into the Washoe Valley and old Highway 395, according to NHP. The freeway was closed briefly. Both lanes are now open as of 3:38 p.m.

I’ve successfully reported the very first half of the legislature and have been through quite a lot. The majority of the experiences are good and quite silly and I would like to share them with you. Not a lot of people get to witness what’s behind the curtains of a Nevada Media Alliance reporter. Here, I share my experiences, in no particular order including: my efforts, encounters, and outcomes all while reporting for the Nevada Legislature.

Elaine and I just returned home from a special way to celebrate a special occasion. March 30 was our 10th wedding anniversary and we had wanted to do something out of the ordinary for that event.

When we were married 10 years ago, we took a 19 day honeymoon in Southeast Asia, which included Hong Kong, China; Singapore, Malaysia; Bangkok, Thailand; and the last eight days at Bali, Indonesia.

Most interesting, we took my new mother-in-law, Mary Bottoms, with us!
I bet that very few of you took your mother-in-law on your honeymoon!

It only comes once every four years, Leap Day. And today we get high winds and snow. Joe Childs from CarsonWeather.com said he recorded an 83 mph gust at 9:45 this morning.

With the coming snowstorm in this season of drought, I'm sure there are some of you out there (like me) who were looking forward to hitting the slopes today. By chance, there are $29 Leap Day specials at Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Diamond Peak. However, the wind has closed the upper mountain areas. The Leap Day curse.

Heavenly Mountain Resort has done it again, opening more skiing and snowboarding terrain on the strength of the West Coast’s largest snowmaking system, just in time for the upcoming holiday season.

“We’ve enjoyed a continuous machine-made snowstorm for the last four days,” said Pete Sonntag, Heavenly’s general manager. “We’ve put a lot of time and expense toward creating the best possible ski and snowboard experience for our guests. We’re extremely excited to have the California side of our mountain open in time for the Christmas holiday.”

Mother Nature not only rained on their parade, she had the audacity to snow on it Saturday.While a full-blown snowstorm was not in force, the air was frigid and snow flurries swirled around the ...

Weather and conditions permitting, U.S. Highway 50 over Echo Summit, the main artery into South Lake Tahoe and onto Carson City is tentatively set to re-open early this afternoon, according to Caltrans. The road was closed May 11 to remove and replace a damaged rock wall barrier.
