The wind will accelerate on Wednesday. Rain showers will move into northern Nevada tonight and spread south on Wednesday. Snow levels will hit the
Valley floor by Thursday, but there shouldn't be much in the way of accumulation. Temperatures will drop 25-30 degrees into the low 50s.
On the SafeTravel Web site, there is a row of orange diamonds with a large letter R in the middle denoting road work from the Nevada border all the way to Carson City on Highway 50. The fun starts at Elks Point Road, continues to Glenbrook and then wraps up on the way down to Carson City. There is also work on Highway 28 near Spooner Junction. Our own roadwork continues at night and is mostly visible by the trail of neatly trenched sidewalks left in the morning.
