The Gardnerville bear was wandering around Arbor Gardens at last report. It doesn’t take much effort on the part of a Gardnerville bear to become a Ranchos, Minden or Ruhenstroth bear. We have a couple of bears in the orchards in Genoa.

The wind is going to be the big deal today. Most of the Valley is looking at around 20 mph winds, gusting to 30-35 mph during the day from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday. I expect faster winds along the Carson Range.
Expect cloudy skies and a snow level around 7,600 feet rising to 8,200 feet today and then dropping back to 6,100 feet after midnight. Today’s high temperature is predicted to hit 62 degrees and dropping to 26 degrees tonight.
