Governor Joe Lombardo has declared a two-hour delay for state government offices in Carson, Douglas, Storey, and Washoe counties in Northern Nevada due to severe weather. Heavy snowfall and high winds have resulted in hazardous driving conditions, prompting the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to report adverse conditions. State offices will open at 10:00 AM on Thursday, February 19, 2026, as a proactive measure to ensure public safety.
