Major winter storm closes state offices across northern Nevada Tuesday


If you were planning a trip to a state office Tuesday, you’ll want to hold off.

Governor Joe Lombardo announced Tuesday morning that state government offices in Carson, Douglas, Lyon, Storey, and Washoe counties are closed due to severe winter weather.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS), snow, freezing temperatures, and gusty winds are expected to continue throughout Tuesday, February 17. Recent storms have already made travel across the region dangerous, with icy roads and limited visibility creating hazardous driving conditions.

Essential public safety and corrections personnel will remain on the job, but all other state offices in the affected counties will stay closed until conditions improve.

Governor Lombardo is urging Nevadans to follow guidance from NDOT and DPS, slow down on the roads, and use extra caution if travel is necessary.
