Freaking snowing in Las Vegas today...that is all.

[pecosbob]

Never snowed here in the fifteen years I've lived here until this year...three times this winter.

2. my daughter in flagstaff

[pecosbob]

4. I read the area north of Phoenix was really going to get dumped on...

[lapucelle]

3. Did Trump tweet yet that it's proof that there is no global warming? N/T

5. I lived in Vegas 1964-66 / we had a freak blizzard at some point...AND

I remember they called a RAIN DAY at school due to flooding!

[pecosbob]

6. Yeah, the west side of town used to flood regularly when I first moved here

until they finished the flood control project out there about ten years ago. I'm pretty sure nothing but wild burros lived way out there back in '66.

7. You live in Las Vegas?

There must be some place around there with a roulette wheel. I need you to run in there and put a bet on Black 11... Just a hunch

[pecosbob]

9. Oddly enough, I live in Las Vegas, but I don't gamble...ever.

12. You're a golfer then?

[pecosbob]

14. A bad one...I play the trombone better than I play golf.

[donkeypoofed]

10. Okay, how much ?

[pecosbob]

13. Truthfully, I don't

I've thought about spending time betting on baseball, something I know pretty well, but it's that damned Southern Baptist upbringing...

8. I just landed in Vegas and it's pretty chilly

But as a Canadian, I'm still walking around in capris, light hoodie and slip-on shoes. It's so adorable to see the people who aren't used to it in parkas, hats & boots. Vegas sure isn't used to this. This is still one of the greatest cities in the whole world !

[pecosbob]

11. It is a sight to behold...

an environmental blasphemy, but what are ya gonna do?

[pnwest]

15. I'm stuck here cause of the damn snow...

On flight yesterday that was supposed to change planes in Vegas, departing Vegas 9pm - started snowing and flights were canceled. Spent the night waiting for HOURS in the airport trying to rebook, finally just got a refund and booked a flight on my phone for 9am this morning, and 20 mins later IT got canceled. There’s not a seat to be had until tomorrow morning. Spit a little snow that didn’t even stick and they lost they fuggin minds.

16. You got the picture

Sorry to hear you got stranded...most of the hairy weather is east of here currently.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Ten years ago we

had close to ten inches from the Vegas Valley to Southern Utah. Talk about a Comedy with the Vegas Drivers. NDOT had to close I-15 because of the wrecks and slide offs.

[pecosbob]

18. Actually I do remember that...think it started to get icy up around Mesquite

and points northeast toward St. George.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. The Gorge was closed North Bound for more than a day.

[stopbush]

19. Lived in Vegas from 2003-2005 and saw snow every winter.

Not at all unusual.

[pecosbob]

20. In the Spring Mountains to the west at seven thousand feet, sure...

not at two thoundand feet in the valley.

[stopbush]

22. I lived in Sumerlin. We had snow in our neighborhood. More than enough

for the kids to make snowmen.

I also well remember the snow falling near The Strip as I nearly got run off the highway by a driver who thought that snow meant it was time to find an imaginary lane and to drive faster.

[Awsi Dooger]

23. It snowed many times in the 24 years I lived in Las Vegas

Once on Super Bowl Sunday. That might have been 1985, the first year I lived there during the Super Bowl.

Then in maybe 2004 or 2005 I remember snow on palm trees at my complex. That was probably the biggest snowfall. Everyone was walking around taking pictures and throwing snowballs.

Of course, I'd go up to the top of Mt. Charleston at least once or twice per year and traipse around in the snow.
