A collision at Highway 395 and Jacks Valley Road 3:30 p.m. Thanksgiving Day reportedly resulted in an arrest for driving under the influence. There were a few calls for reckless drivers on Thanksgiving and I heard at least two other arrests.

Minden-Tahoe Airport registered 7 degrees this morning, and that seems like it’s going to be the norm for a bit, and I expect we’ll be hearing frozen pipes calls as the day warms up. The forecast high is 52 degrees under sunny skies and still conditions.
