What the National Weather Service wrote

A mesonet station (SCRN2) located 5.5 mi. N of New Washoe City, and mesonet station (AV157) located 2.0 mi WNW of Stead, NV, reported rainfall storm totals of 1.39 inches and 1.01 inches respectively.

The wider storm

As plentiful moisture and jet energy streamed into the Pacific Northwest, unsettled weather continued across the Sierra and western Nevada. Periods of light showers and stronger westerly winds aloft allowed ridgeline winds to gust to 70 mph through this two day period. Well not necessarily impactful, travel over the Sierra was difficult at times due to snow levels dropping with a slushy inch or two falling on regional mountain passes.

Began near New Washoe City (39.2996, -119.7800).
