Post Rare Winter Storm Slams Las Vegas Overnight
I hope everyone can make it out there ok,I had trouble with the link so I just posted the the info.
This is from ABC 13 in Las Vegas talking about the storm.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

A rare snowstorm blanketed the Las Vegas Valley early Friday morning, delaying flights, causing widespread fender-benders and canceling events. As much as 8 inches of snow is forecast in parts of the valley including Metro Las Vegas,forecasters said this morning.

The rarities continued Thursday night with the Clark County School District's announcement that students are getting a snow day today. It's the first snow day for Clark County students since 1979, when a storm dropped 9.9 inches of snow in January that year.

The weather service said the main low pressure area was centered over northern Clark County at 1:30 a.m. today and was moving slowly east.

Heavy snow had already fallen over much of the warning area and another 2 to 4 inches would be possible above the 2,500-foot level elevations through early afternoon, the weather service said.

McCarran International Airport is expierencing major delays this morning with the snowfall and travelers are advised to call there airlines to make sure flights aren't canceled.

For some reason, I always thought Las Vegas was hot or warm year round. When I was watching the Nevada game last Friday, and saw their breath & people in scarves/gloves etc, I was shocked.

I guess it goes to show, I need to go back & refresh my memory in terms of geography & climates lol.
