Fog

Hello fellow anglers, the weather may be questionable but many anglers are getting out and doing well. You just need to dress a little warmer for the occasion.

As this storm system moves in, it makes it difficult for list-makers, such as myself. I cannot predict which of these events will be affected or cancelled because of the snow. The show must go on for the kids of Youth Theater Carson City. ‘The Lion King, Jr.’ is in its final weekend of performances.

There are no controls on local area highways and road ways for the Monday morning commute on this Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. However, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Reno is warning of black ice on roads at higher elevations.

A weak storm will push through the region Monday night into Tuesday, bringing a slight chance of rain to the valleys and light snow possible from 5,500 feet to 6,000 feet and above, according to the National Weather Service.

While Carson City was treated to a Nevada Day that brought sunny afternoon skies following some early morning fog, quite the opposite is in store for Sunday, with rain in the valley and snow in the Sierra, according to the National Weather Service.

Two Reno men were arrested Saturday on multiple misdemeanor charges after the driver of a vehicle was stopped for suspected DUI, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Susan Crowell, wife of Mayor Bob Crowell of Carson City, is a mixture of strength, forthrightness, and intrigue. Susan is an attractive, well-spoken, well educated, and independent thinking female — both as a wife, mother, and citizen of Carson City. The definition of who she really is lies in her upbringing, her education, her marriage, her children, and in her personal interests. All these components interact to make for a thoughtful woman with a definite mind of her own, yet one who wants the best for others involved in all of these relationships.

Growing up in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon, I took rain for granted; mostly because it rained more than the sun shined.

Here is the Carson City area road report for the week of June 6-12, 2016. Work will continue on the Downtown Corridor improvement project on Carson Street. The following streets will be impacted:

A 20-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Thursday in the 1200 block of Spartan Avenue on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and possession of marijuana, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

We need a break from politics. So, today we begin a series of occasional articles recounting the greatest moments in film: the most heroic, noble, moving, coolest and just plain fun scenes.

Unlike annoying on-line lists that count down from number 25 to number one, we’ll start with: The. Best. Film. Ever. Casablanca, Best Picture of 1942, features the best lifetime performances by nearly everyone in it, plus the most memorable lines and hauntingly romantic love-song theme, “As Time Goes By” sung by Dooley Wilson.

With much of western Nevada under a Wind Advisory, Carson Now reader Jimmy Prater captured a rainbow near his South Carson City home, arriving it seemed by gusty Tuesday afternoon winds.

Carson City emergency crews have remained busy this morning responding to vehicle crashes, including one near the high school, one at Carson Meadows and Robinson Street and on Stewart and Musser streets in which a four-year-old got a bump on the head in a two-vehicle crash.

It's slow going out there on the highways and roads around Carson City this morning with freezing fog and early morning snow showers. The National Weather Service in Reno says the fog will stick around this morning and has issued a freezing fog weather advisory.

A woman was injured in a pedestrian accident that happened Thursday afternoon in Stateline at Lake Tahoe, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

The victim, Madeleine Cass, was found underneath a Toyota pickup driven by Charles Scholfield, when deputies arrived at the scene, in the area of Ponderosa Drive, said DCSO Sgt. Pat Brooks.

A few visitors came over to the Quilici home on Nevada Street for lunch Wednesday. These bucks, does and fawns have paid Don and Elaine Quilici, Carson Now's Outdoor editor and photographer Emeritus and Emerita, a visit to their west side Carson City home over the past two days, enjoying cool temperatures, forage and trying to stay out of the way of motorists.

As many of you have noticed we have an abundance of deer in the area and with winter weather soon upon us we will all be dealing with slick roadways and icy conditions. Already several deer have been struck by vehicles with some not surviving their injuries and others limping off into the surrounding neighborhoods.

Nevada landscapes are breathtaking.

This is the second of my three-part series on our recent, 10-day, sightseeing and fishing Alaskan adventure at Juneau and Pelican.

Went outside this morning and it was so beautiful with the fog rolling in so grabbed my cell phone and this is what I came up with. Taken by Empire Ranch area in Carson City.

Patches of dense fog formed Tuesday morning in the valleys from Reno south to Carson City and Carson Valley prompting a statement from the National Weather Service because of commuter traffic and driving conditions.

The fog has developed over the Truckee Meadows and North Valley area. The worst visibility was east of Pyramid Highway in Sparks, Spanish Springs and along East McCarran including around the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada and Northern California. This report is for the week of Jan. 8-14, 2015.

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.

Billy Don Wainscott is the racetrack outrider at the nearest racetrack to Carson City — Cal Expo in Sacramento. It's a very tough and sometimes dangerous job. Billy Don has to work under many types of weather conditions...His job is vital to the safety of harness drivers their racehorses, and everyone trackside. A panicky horse pulling a empty sulky at 35 mph is very, very dangerous.

This panorama photograph is of the Carson River at the eastern edge of town, near Highway 50 and Deer Run Road.
Lots of subtle Nevada colors in this photo view-and even some fog in the far background.

This is my annual reminder that November 18 was a significant date in the lives of some 4,212 hardy Alaskans (as of the 2010 census). Those folks live in a unique location known as Barrow, Alaska, which is the northernmost community in the United States.

It is located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, about 320 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and roughly about 1,300 miles south of the North Pole. On November 18, the sun set below the horizon at Barrow and it will not peek back up over the horizon until January 23 (weather permitting).

About 5 miles away on the distant horizon, we could see black dots on the amazingly pure white, snow-covered, barren ground, 130 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk (Tuk), Northwest Territories, Canada.
Our guide Chuck Gruben of Tuk said there they are, let's get going.
This hunt was to be my first-ever musk ox hunt, my second-ever guided hunt.
It was something that I wanted to do for a long time.
I was sitting home one night and thought what the heck, I should go.
My wife agreed, so the necessary arrangements went into high gear.

The 2014 Cause Warrior Ride Team will stop in over 70 cities and towns along the route to historic West Point in New York.
