ALMANOR LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530) 365-7500 www.shastacascade.com reported:
Current water surface temperatures are at 35.5 degrees with water clarity at 7.5 feet. It has been sunny all week as forecasted. With the afternoon highs moving into mid to low 50s, and more sunshine is on the way, with the next possibility of some rain near mid week.

Unseasonably warm days and clear night skies will come to an end this week as a low pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska moves into the Carson City and Sierra region beginning Monday bringing wind, rain and snow through the week.

The trough will bring an end to the mild weather with much colder temperatures and strong gusty winds, according to the National Weather Service in Reno and Carsonweather.com.

Conservation-minded residents, students, family and friends are encouraged to join the annual cleanup along the banks of the Carson River, Brunswick Canyon and Prison Hill Recreation Area on Saturday as part of the 17th National Public Lands Day.

BLACK ROCK CITY, Nev. — At about 9:45 Saturday night, the crowd was all expectation as fireworks began blazing around the base of the Burning Man figure, 40 feet tall, looming against the black sky over the Black Rock Playa and Black Rock City eight miles from Gerlach, Nev.

Carson City Public Works tech Jason Moore puts loose limbs into a wood chipper this morning on King Street. High winds overnight and early this morning of nearly 50 mph on the west side of town to more than 70 mph just outside the city limits blew lots of dead and dying tree limbs and debris to the ground, public works reported.

Carson City Sheriff's Office reports some calls were made to the department regarding downed trees. One large tree limb smashed into a fence and blocked part of the road at Ash Canyon and Ormsby. Public Works removed the debris earlier this morning.

Alex Fallon had no intention of settling for third-place as she prepared for her final attempt in the triple jump at the Reed Sparks Rotary Invitational on Friday.

To look at the box score, one inning was decisive for the Carson High softball team in its 8-3 loss at home against Galena on Thursday.
Galena did score five runs in the sixth inning -- three of which came on one hit that resulted in two errors -- to erase a 3-2 deficit en route to the Sierra League victory on a cold and windy afternoon. When reviewing the game, however, Carson coach Scott Vickrey didn't place the blame on just one play or one inning.

A strong winter storm is making its way south out of Alaska, and will arrive in Northern Nevada Wednesday and into Thursday.
