Our recent storms managed to create another little stutter step in the Carson River snow water equivalence, lifting it just short of the green for the basin. Forestdale Creek is running 92 percent for the year, according to the telemetry, while Carson Pass officially bottomed out today. It’s always possible one of those sensors is broken.
I was out in the Pine Nuts on Thursday where the grass is starting to green up and the wildflowers are just starting to bloom. The recent storms may contribute to that growth, which will dry out in June. Be ready for that to burn this summer.
There’re a lot of events occurring this weekend from the plant sale at the high school to an art show at the Carson Valley Museum & Cultural Center to kites at Dangberg Home Ranch. For more info, pick up a copy of The Record-Courier, on stands now for a buck.
I’m following up on a reported fire in Gardnerville this morning. If I find something out, I’ll tell everybody.
Temperatures are on a warming trend with sunny skies today and a high of 74 degrees. The Zephyr will pick up this afternoon at 5-10 mph, gusting to 20 mph. It appears safe to hook up the hoses again trough the end of next week, at least.
