Electricity has been restored to all Carson Valley customers, a spokesman for NV Energy said.

Nearly 4,000 residents were without electricity at one point during the morning thanks to the weather.

Heavy snow knocked tree branches into at least one power line today.

NV Energy spokesman Karl Walquist said the power was restored to most customers by 9:10 a.m. after a 20-minute outage.

The rest were restored by 9:45 a.m.

R-C weather watcher Stan Kapler reported 4 inches of snow fell in Minden, containing .8 inches of moisture. He said about 1.5 inches of moisture fell with the storm Monday and Tuesday.

The weather was also responsible for several minor accidents this morning, including one in which a pickup slid into the median cable barrier on Highway 395 about a mile south of Genoa Lane. There were also reports of a single-vehicle accident at Holbrook Junction, an accident at Highway 395 and Jake's Hill and another at Highway 88 and Centerville.
