December 2022

One dazzling Tahoe day not long ago, my gaze fell upon a buttermilk sky, and suddenly, unexpectedly, I perceived time and space mutually, as one. I conjoined with those perfect balls of cotton and my body shook with awe. Wow!
My first thought was, “I’m going to take another run at Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.”

Hello fellow anglers. As I write this, Mother Nature is building up a good storm on the west side of the Sierra and is headed our way. Although fishing right now may not be on your mind, safety should always be. By the end of this weekend, the higher passes in and out of the Tahoe area will have feet of snow on them.

One story begets another! As I continue to dig deep into the history of this incredible city and share them with readers, it always amazes me as to how much more there is to the story as is in the case of Bill and Dottie Kelley and then Carson City Mayor Ray Masayko who were the impetus behind raising monies to purchase the carillon today still chiming merrily away in the bell tower of the Paul Laxalt Building.

UPDATE: National Weather Service forecasters says stormy activity remains possible through Monday morning, with light snowfall accumulations (1 inch or less). However, some areas that receive localized heavier snow showers may accumulate several inches, particularly across the foothills of the Carson Range, Virginia City Highlands and the Surprise Valley.

With temperatures expected to dip below freezing areawide Sunday night, slick and icy roadways are possible by the morning commute on Monday. Check road conditions at NVRoads.com before heading out and allow extra time to get to your destination Monday morning.

A winter storm continues Sunday at Lake Tahoe and Sierra bringing gusty wind and several inches of snow. Lower valley areas may see rain and light snow showers later Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
