| episode_narrative | A powerful winter storm crippled the Reno-Carson City-Minden area over a two and a half day period. The main portion of the storm dumped heavy snow over the region from late Friday night (20th) into early Sunday morning (22nd). The cold moist flow continued into early Monday morning, but snowfall amounts were not as significant as on Saturday into early Sunday (in most areas). Some noteworthy snowfall amounts over the 12-24 hour period from late Friday night into Saturday night were as follows: 6-9 inches in the lower valleys of the Greater Reno area with 10-18 inches in the western foothills, and 12-24 inches in Carson City, Washoe Valley (north of Carson City), and the Virginia City area. Storm totals ending early Monday morning (23rd) were impressive. The lower valleys of the Greater Reno area received from 9-12 inches with over 2 feet in the western foothills. The Carson City area had 1-2 feet of snow. Finally, the Virginia City area received from 4-5 feet of snow, making this winter storm the biggest in the last decade.The powerful storm paralyzed holiday travelers. Several roads were closed while others were nearly impassable. Numerous accidents were reported. Approximately 16,000 homes were without power during the climax of the storm. |
