¡Hola, Nevadenses!

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those who celebrate! 

Without realizing that St. Patrick’s Day was coming up, I painted my nails green last week (think light pistachio green). It was a nice coincidence when I looked at the calendar. Somehow the holiday creeps up on me every year. 

Did any of our Reno readers participate in the recent Shamrock Shave? I love that the Reno Fire Department participates in this annual event every year, which seeks to fundraise for childhood cancer research. 

Imagine if Lake Mead or Lake Tahoe were dyed green like they do in Chicago. Did you know that the first time the river was dyed in 1962, the oil-based Air Force dye kept the water green for nearly a month? Since then, a vegetable dye has been used. 

Even then, I think we’ll keep our waters their natural blue, thank you very much! We work hard enough to preserve them.

Nevada’s largest public university is under investigation by the Trump administration for its efforts to bolster diversity among Ph.D students, the US Department of Education announced Friday.

The department announced it had opened investigations into 45 universities on grounds they allegedly violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by partnering with The Ph.D. Project, which was founded in 1994 to help Black, Latino, and Native American students pursue doctoral business degrees. 

Here’s a look from last week’s winter storm in Tonopah! 

According to the National Weather Service, between 3 and 6 inches of total snow accumulation was possible for elevations between 6,000 and 8,000 feet in Nye County. 

How many more weeks left in this 6-more-weeks-of-winter period?
