compared to 2012. this year's results, were also finalized within a few hours, instead of taking days. the nevada secretary of state's office-- said as of today, there were no reports of voter fraud in either the democratic, or republican caucuses. other states like colorado have been eyeing nevada's "first in the west" spot, but with this year's success-- it's unlikely another state will take the coveted spot. but-- republican national committee officials could always decide to grant the caucus spot to another state, before the 20-20 nominating process. ### our winter got off to a great start... ringing us above average snowfall... but now we're falling behind. a snow survey on the mount rose summit today revealed... a dry february put a big dent in our snowpack. around february first... our snowpack was 125- percent of normal... now it's only 96-percent of normal. hydrologists are hoping the high pressure ridge breaks... and brings us a miracle march.

you get back in the stormtrack and it can dramatically change your percentage over the course of a month." "definitely feeling better than we were with the forecast, but until it is on the ground, we won't feel that good," it is important to note... the snow that fell at mount rose... stayed there. it hasn't melted. right now... we're just falling behind, because it hasn't snowed much recently. ### with the recent sunshine we've been having.will we have a miracle march? chief meteorologist jeff thompson is here with kolo 8 weather now. the ridge of high pressure along the west coast will flatten and start to weaken this week, as a series of systems moves through the pacific northwest. this will keep breezy conditions and occasional clouds in the forecast, with showers possible north of i-80 late tuesday and wednesday night. highs will be close to records, with some valley locations warming into the low to mid 70's. by next

construction workers staged a protest outside the tesla gigafactory construction site, east of town this morning. they were crying foul over hiring practices at the site--picketing and urging workers to walk off the job. they say one of the subcontractors on the job--a new mexico firm--has been hiring out-of-state workers instead of qualified locals. this-- they charge-- is a violation of the spirit of the agreement between the state and tesla which traded more than a billion dollars in tax incentives for a promise to hire local workers. their complaint was with the subcontractor, but clearly the intent was to send a message to

james: "i just think it's wrong for tesla. i think it's a wrong business move for tesla to use our tax money and then hire out-of-state contractors to go out and hire out-of-state workers." tesla issued a statement today saying the dispute was with a third party contractor not them. they added that half the work force hired by the new mexico firm were from nevada as required by the agreement that brought tesla to northern nevada. in fact--they said--overall the project was more than meeting that goal--a statement backed up by the most recent state audit of the project which showed 74 percent of the nearly 900 workers on the job site were nevadans. a reno man is behind bars tonight for allegedly shooting another man inside a downtown casino. 38-year-old kiley grayson is charged with open murder. reno police say, he shot an off-duty employee just before midnight at siri's casino. police say-- grayson waited at the scene to be arrested.
