Snowed In Vegas

SeanD · December 19th, 2006, 16:25

I woke up this morning for work and there was snow on the ground here in Vegas (just a dusting). Tonight the temps will drop to 28 and possible snow flurries again. What's going on? The end is near

Meanwhile it's 55 degrees in Indiana on December 19th.

OldTownPilot · December 19th, 2006, 17:52

GaTechKid · December 19th, 2006, 18:22

Many people in Minneapolis are freaking out because there's no snow.

jon1424 · December 19th, 2006, 18:53

I know when I go back in Philly for Christmas its supposed to be low 50's...i can't remember a Christmas in all my years where it was 20-30. I'd love to be on the ramp back there again in that warm winter weather!

It is pouring rain here. We had 16 inches of snow, then 40mph winds, and then rain the other day.

Does this mean hell is freezing over?

bLizZuE · December 21st, 2006, 07:37

I hope it's still there when I get there! Will be the only time I see snow this year.

SeanD · December 21st, 2006, 14:53

The snow is long gone but still in the mountains. I hear it may snow a bit tonight. Its getting cloudy now. Yes hell has frozen over. The temp has been below freezing everynight this week.

Polarbear · December 21st, 2006, 17:28

When I lived in Vegas i saw snow many times. It was common to happen every couple years out in the Lakes and Summerlin. I was on the road though when it actually stuck on the strip(I believe that was 2003 or 2004, but was just before I left Vegas). My parents and sis showed me pictures though.

HH-60CC · December 22nd, 2006, 02:06

I remember it snowed 2 times on the flightline @ Nellis in 2001

. Mt Charleston was beautiful in the winter time.

Farva · December 22nd, 2006, 03:29

Yeah snow in vegas though rare is not uncommon. I mean every year my house in Henderson gets a good dusting but this time we recieved about a half a foot to a foot. And I am stuck in the ice box of north dakota and missed all the white stuff. darn!!!!!

note: there is no snow in GFK ND so in essence its a cold brown flat land.

SeanD · December 22nd, 2006, 14:04

Flurried this morning in Henderson. Keep it coming. Imagine a white x-mas in Vegas.
