Roll up the carpet

McCarran Airport? Closed-No de icing equipment, snow plows, or salt trucks.

Schools? Closed

City of Henderson? Closed

Highways leading south to L.A.? Closed

Highways leading to Pahrump? Closed

U.S. Route 95? Closed.

The record for most snow ever in December in Las Vegas? Broken

Henderson(More or less where wee live) is predicted to get 7" by Thursday Morning. Then we are to switch over to freezing rain/sleet.

Mind you there are no salt trucks in Vegas although they are going to try and do something to some of the overpasses on the freeway.

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:
