Roll up the carpet
Let it snow, Let it Snow.....
Today it is snowing heavily in all of the Las Vegas valley. This may turn out to be the biggest snow storm in Vaegas in over 30 years. I took my camera hoping to get some pics of the snowy mountains and instead got to take pictures of a blizzard, well for Vegas its a blizzard! They have extended the winter storm warning for 4AM-10PM to 4AM-4AM with up to 6". It started snowing where I was at about 12 ish. It was mostly a rain/snow mix that turned to mostly rain until about 2PM. Then it became all snow as I drove home.
First off is the Spring Mountains to the west from early morning:
They were more stunning yesterday because the sun was out but oh well.
Snowy Las Vegas sign.
I-15 near the strip.
The Luxor in a snow storm.
He looks cold.
