A strong Sierra cold front packing winds gusting up to 50 mph dropped the first snow of the season Monday in the mountains along the California-Nevada line and damaged a small airplane that was blown off the runway at an airport north of Reno.
Rain was falling in the valleys around Reno and Sparks Monday afternoon as the cold front sent temperatures plummeting across western Nevada. Temperatures were 15 to 20 degrees cooler than Sunday’s highs in the upper 80s and low 90s.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning effective until 6 p.m. Monday for most of northern Nevada because of high winds and low humidity that could create dangerous fire conditions. It was canceled along the eastern front of the Sierra at midday because of the rain.

28 in Minden, NV. Heavy frost. Summer is gone.

The local weather guy here swore last night there was global warming. He was all up in arms that we’ve had 50 days of 100 degree weather this summer. Of course, he conveniently forgot 10 years ago we had 100 days of 100 plus degree temps one summer and those 3 digits were much higher than this summer’s and there was far less rain. Of course, this channel came from uber lib Austin, TX.
Columbia, SC could use some too.
Yes - winter storm Wimpy.
LOL! Yup, a lady I know, who is a drummer at some local jam sessions with us, had an awesome crop this year in northwest Reno.

A Polish Wilga designed as a glider tow plane converted with an Alison turboprop. He spent a lot of time and money building the unique STOL plane. Sad to see it destroyed. He actually was taking off and was hit by two strong wind gusts.
