Hi all. I'm back with your fresh edition of the Reno Daily, fresh off the presses. Let's get this Thursday started off right, with a quick dive into everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Here are the top three stories in Reno today:

1. It's almost New Year's Eve! Have you figured out your plans, or are you still looking for the perfect place to ring in 2023? In Reno, it's never too late to find a fun and fabulous event. This list gives you seven Reno restaurants that are offering unique and special ways to celebrate the New Year. (Reno Gazette Journal)
2. The Reno-Tahoe Airport has been a mess since last week, when vicious winter weather led to thousands of flight cancellations across the country. Nearly 3,000 flights have been canceled by Southwest Airlines, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Some Southwest passengers have been camped out at the airport for days, waiting for a flight that will take them home. (FoxReno.com)
3. Pets from the Nevada Humane Society had a very merry Christmas. Thanks to Santa Claus' assistance, roughly 65 animals found their forever homes in Carson and Reno. Mr. Claus and the Humane Society team delivered pets on Christmas morning, giving these animals the gift of a lifetime. 38 cats, 19 dogs, and six small animals were adopted between the two shelters.
