Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday, Carson City! The world's largest, most watched and expensive sporting event takes place today, which is fortuitous given the stormy weather outside.

Even Carson Cassie, Carson City's endearing retention pond monster, may spend the day inside watching the game and getting ideas for her next sneak play at the pond. Pass the hot wings please!

Good morning, Carson City, on this first day of February. Our area has been enjoying Spring-like weather and temperatures all week long. Today will be no different, so enjoy the pleasant conditions while they last.

A series of storms is forecast to move into our region Saturday, dropping temperatures as well as rain and snow. As the photo suggests, rain in the morning is a sailor's warning, so batten down those hatches.

Hello Carson City and welcome to Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019. We're looking forward to an eventful weekend ahead as a winter storm is building and is expected to bring snow to the Sierra and rain and snow showers to the valley floor. And then there's Sunday's Super Bowl and all the fixings that come with that. Enjoy your day today. The weekend is right around the corner.

Good morning Carson City and welcome to Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2019. We hope your work week started off on the right foot even though the weather outside has been unpredictable, with sunshine one day and clouds the next. Today we're looking at a slight chance of rain showers, around 20 percent after 11 a.m., and otherwise mostly cloudy skies and a high of 54.

Recently a reader asked me about growing hemp. According to Penn State Extension, hemp was often found in early settlements and used as a fiber source. It was widely grown in Pennsylvania and other states in the 1700s and 1800s. Not only grown for fiber, its oil was used “in paints, ink, varnishes, and lamp oil.” Conestoga wagon covers and clothing were made from hemp.

Could we be in the dog days of January? Sunday is shaping up to be absolutely gorgeous and unseasonably warm for this time of year with a forecast high of 61 degrees and mostly sunny skies.

Even though we are still in the middle of Winter, that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy beautiful, Spring-like weather while lasts.

Wow, Carson City! Is it Friday already?! Indeed, we have reached the end of another work week.

Go for a swim during lunch or after work at the newly reopened Carson Aquatic Center before catching some live entertainment this evening at Living the Good Life Nightclub-Bistro-Lounge, Bella Vita Bistro and A to Zen, featuring its weekly Open Mic Night.

So here we are Carson City, staring at a weekend ahead as we enter Thursday, Jan. 24, 2019. Expect sunny skies today with a daytime high around 47. With all the fresh snow from the weekend, there's plenty of it piled at Lake Tahoe ski areas. Enjoy the bluebird day ahead.
