Carson City residents woke up to snow on this last day of February 2015. Snow amounts around town vary though it is sticking to streets.
Snow plows are out in force this morning, but luckily there’s not a lot of freezing on the street, just a slushy build up.
Snow showers associated with a winter system will continue through the weekend. Accumulating snow and difficult travel are likely in the Sierra with lighter amounts and more localized travel issues in western Nevada, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

A Winter Weather Advisory for the Carson City area expired at 10 a.m. but continues in the Sierra through 4 p.m.
