I followed this balloon from Minden over to Foothill Lane on Thanksgiving morning. Cold, still mornings are perfect ballooning weather.

Genoa, Nev. — We’re closing the Gardnerville offices of The Record-Courier for the final time this afternoon. Being closed isn’t going to stop us from covering Douglas County or putting out a newspaper twice a week. The best way to get a hold of Tara Addeo, Sarah Drinkwine or myself is email.
While local, county and state offices are closed today, the Post Office is open, as are most banks and stores. I’m not even certain there’s really such a thing as Black Friday anymore, but we’re doing Small Business Saturday in town. The list is in Wednesday’s edition, on stands now, only a buck.
I’ll follow up on a crash reported 8:30 p.m. Thursday on Highway 395 near Genoa Lane. I don’t have any information about its severity, but at least four ambulances were initially dispatched. Needless to say, the scanner was off for Thanksgiving dinner.
Both Heavenly and Kirkwood mountain resorts are capping the number of ticket sales and are encouraging skiers and snowboarders to purchase tickets ahead of time online at www.skiheavenly.com and www.kirkwood.com. Kirkwood is celebrating 50 years this winter.
We could see a high temperature of nearly 60 degrees today with mostly sunny skies and a light breeze out of the west this afternoon. Next possibility of weather is Monday and then again on Wednesday.
