Genoa, Nev. — I hear they had a full house at Tuesday’s first Q&A conducted by the Good Governance Group with county commissioner candidates. Commissioner Mark Gardner and challenger Mike Tanner are talking on April 23. Janet Freixas and Nathan Tolbert are April 30.
A power outage affected 78 customers in the Gardnerville Ranchos starting 12:58 p.m. Tuesday. I didn’t hear any emergency calls associated with it and I didn’t catch when it was restored.
I expect residents are getting actual calls from the Sheriff’s Office if their mail was found with the couple arrested on Monday night. The checks have identity information on them, so you shouldn’t have to call and ask.
The West Fork of the Carson River might actually hit action stage of 12. 5 feet at Woodfords on Friday night. It crested at 12.04 feet as snow melts off on that side of the water shed.
The East Fork is nearly 2 feet short of the 13-foot action stage, and a yard short of the 14-foot minor flooding stage. Warm conditions in the mountains could see faster melt-off.
High temperatures are lined up from today’s 72 degrees to 73 on Thursday and 74 degrees on Friday before hitting 75 on Saturday and skipping a couple of notches to get to 78 on Sunday.
Otherwise, today will see mostly sunny skies and the 5-10 mph wind shifting from east to west this afternoon.
