A power outage is affecting residents of Gardnerville and the Gardnerville Ranchos this morning.

One Chambers Field home owner said her power was out for 5 hours between 1:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. this morning.

The electricity went down again a short time later and is still out for the Chambers Field neighborhood.

The Record-Courier has received reports of outages of Charter, which may be related to the power outages.

Only a dusting of snow fell overnight in Carson Valley, with 8 inches of snow falling in Stateline at the base of Kingsbury Grade by 9 p.m. Saturday. Fish Springs reported .07 inches of moisture fell over night.

While foggy conditions persisted earlier this morning, visibility in Carson Valley has increased significantly.

Road controls are limited to Highway 88 from just east of Kirkwood over Highway 88, where chains or four-wheel drive are required, and over the Mount Rose Highway. Snow tires or chains are being required on Highway 395 from 20 miles south of the state line to near Bridgeport.

The Nevada Highway Patrol responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle along Highway 395 at Double Spring Flat at about 9:06 a.m.
