Nevada vs Santa Clara Prediction

I’m on Nevada here. The Wolf Pack have been so good at home to start the year and while Santa Clara will be the toughest test to date, I am not sold on the Broncos right now after they’ve crumbled in their last couple of outings. I look for Nevada to pull away in the second half and get the win so give me Nevada here.

Christmas Day weather forecast for Northern California – Dec. 25, 2024

02:55

TRUCKEE — With another weather system just about done with Northern California, roads in the Northern California high country are open but still potentially treacherous on Christmas Day.

As of noon, there are no restrictions on both Interstate 80 and Highway 50 in the Sierra Nevada.

The same can’t be said for the smaller highways, however.

On Highway 89, Caltrans says chains or snow tires are required from Truckee to the Sierra/Plumas County line, and from Truckee to around 11 miles north of Truckee.

Highlighting how dangerous the conditions could be, on Christmas morning California Highway Patrol posted about a driver who nearly went completely off the side of the road near Emerald Bay. The vehicle had to be towed out.

Slow Down!
Christmas Day is ICY here in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Take it slow and enjoy the beautiful surroundings carefully. #emeraldbay #seatbeltssavelives #wintervibes #visitlaketahoe #VisitLakeTahoe #KnowBeforeYouGo #knowbeforeyougo pic.twitter.com/Uuygsj2nTf

Further south, along Highway 88, Caltrans says chains are also still required on all vehicles from 6.5 miles east of Peddler Hill in Amador County to about 5 miles west of Picketts Junction in Alpine County.

Another impactful weather system is expected to arrive by Thursday in Northern California

LETTER: Let’s consider how much growth Southern Nevada can accomodate

LETTER: Let’s consider how much growth Southern Nevada can accomodate

Neither of the authors of “Homesteading 2.0” (Dec. 15 Review-Journal) lives in Nevada. Yet, they believe they are qualified to advocate for increased development of our public lands.

To date, much new development has focused on luxury housing and green energy projects, rather than the need for affordable housing. While the authors acknowledge our successful conservation efforts, they fail to mention that current residents are being heavily regulated by the water authority, facing penalties, and pressured to reduce water usage. Lawns are being replaced with desert landscaping, and ongoing development to accommodate growth is contributing to the urban heat island effect. This growth has led to more congested roadways, wildlife encroaching into urban areas due to habitat loss and reduced access to recreational spaces that residents once enjoyed.

One of the defining features of Las Vegas was the open space surrounding the valley, which has long been a unique advantage of living in the Southwest. We must carefully consider how much growth we are willing to support moving forward.
