'Tis the Season, Carson City! Holiday cheer is in the wind, and we have plenty of wind right now. This weekend is jam-packed with food and toy drives, concerts, and Santa-sightings, so bundle up and have a fun time enjoying our great city.

Even though the wind has calmed some, clusters around Carson City remained without power early Thursday evening, according to NV Energy. Go here for the latest map and updates.

Carson City was largely spared, so far, by damaging winds that happened at Lake Tahoe, Carson Valley and Reno-Sparks earlier Thursday. Dispatch reports some downed power lines and tree limbs through late morning and the middle of the afternoon.

See the report below.

Carson City sheriff’s detectives say even though it has been a week since the crime they are continuing to actively search for a teenage girl or young adult woman who stole the purse of a 99-year-old woman on Thursday, Dec. 4.

The suspect is described as caucasian with dirty blond hair, five feet four inches tall and heavy set. She was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt. The crime happened at around 2 p.m. on Spear Street in Carson City.

Three juveniles, ages 17, 14 and 11 were injured in Wednesday's two-vehicle crash at Highway 50 East near the Lyon County line and Linehan Road, said Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Daniel Lopez.

With a strong storm likely to hit the region on Thursday and Friday, Carson City Emergency Management is reminding citizens of importance of being prepared. It’s that time of year when winter weather can have severe impacts in Northern Nevada and we encourage everyone to get ready.

What you need to know:

While forecasters say the precipitation amounts with the onslaught of the approaching winter storm won’t bring historic amounts of moisture, the high winds ahead of the system may prove to be for the record books.

Carson City and Western Nevada remains under a High Wind Warning through 4 a.m. Friday morning. The winds are expected to increase this morning, with the strongest early this afternoon, lowering some late in the afternoon but will remain gusty overnight, according to the National Weather Service.

The Carson High School Ski Team will be showing the newest Warren Miller ski and snowboarding movie, "No Turning Back," at the Carson City Community Center on Friday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m., doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for $12 or $8 with student ID. Multiple raffle prizes are up for grabs with raffle tickets costing $1 each or 25 tickets for $20. Money raised from the showing will go to support the ski team.

Democrats, modern liberals and progressives often say they’re concerned about income inequality. So, they propose more redistribution: higher taxes on the well-off and higher public subsidies for others.

Adding subsidy increases to their ever-growing regulatory system and other public spending drove total government spending relative to our economy to record post-WWII levels under President Obama. Yet they still want more.
