WTF. It's not suppose to snow in Vegas. I've been here a total of 7 years and have never seen snow come down this far. The mountains surrounding the valley are usually all snow capped, but I've never seen this before.

You got a dusting..... thats it???

I love all of the videos online of people in places like texas where it is not supposed to snow, where they get like a half an inch... and it starts like 24 car pile-ups, because they were never taught how to drive in the snow... I lol...

I woke up the yesterday and everything was covered in a sheet of thick ice... i just drove away without a problem. Walking sucked though....

Please... the city completely shuts down. People down here don't know how to drive on snow/ice. We do get really nice ice storms around Feb-March though... where everything is covered in a sheet of 1 - 2 inches of ice. That usually stays around for about 2 days. But no 24 car pileups... just 100's of 2-3 car accidents from people sliding all over the road...

I worked as a tow truck driver, a long time ago, for 8 different police departments around Dallas. When it would ice over... I would be out for 36 hours straight, cleaning up accidents.

I'm originally from new England, so I'm a master at driving on snow and ice, but being in Vegas for seven years I've never seen it actually stick and amount to anything on the ground. The lowest part of the city got an 1-3 inches but it was all gone the next day. There is awesome snow caps surrounding the valley now though.

LOL, I was at my friends apartment and I ran outside to my car. Not knowing that the grass embankment that leads to the parking lot was still a sheet of ice as well. Let me tell you I slid all the way down the grass on one foot out of control.... and almost went face first into my friends F150.

I destinctly remember a video where 24 cars piled up on a highway, including an ambulance that was coming to help that slid and then flipped.... Not that I laugh at that stuff... but its pretty ironic!

Thats no joke. My buddy in college slid down a wet hill and subsequently broke his ankle upon getting to the bottom of the hill.

Hey Particle, how much did you get? We got about 16 inches overnight and more coming tomorrow and Monday. I got my kids on an early flight today instead of waiting till tomorrow. I didn't want to wait and have them stuck here. They had a good time in the snow before they left, though...hell, so did I! After I dug out the mailbox for the postman and found my car, we went sledding at the neighbor's house...he had a hug ramp in his back yard that went off a small dropoff...at the end, you got buried in dry snow. We had a good last day before they left for Nashville...I'll probably hate this stuff by next week...

we usually have rather mild winters in the northwest. This year we've had 3 storms on top of each other, so while it stops snowing, the ice is forming on the roads for more snow to pile up on, as it hasn't been above freezing for a week. Tonight's supposed to be hurricane-force winds in the foothills of the mountains, and 6-8 inches of snow downtown which is usually warm-ish.

Seattle is basically shut down at the moment. I'm supposed to fly to California tomorrow...I doubt the flights will go out with the high wind... :(

More ice storms last night... damn atmoshere is too warm to form snow....

But i ran outside this morning to replace some christmas lights that had gone out. It was a balmy 12 degrees out with wind gusts up to 41 mph which made a windchill of -6... My face felt every bit of it...

Can you Florida people even comprehend that?? :panic:

Lows tonight of 21...again. It's unseasonably cold here. We get cold but don't get these temps until after the first of the year.

Something else I've noticed...when it's raining the temps are in the upper 60's to the upper 70's. When it's not raining the daytime temps maybe reach 50. :rolleyes:

We got freezing rain last night. Most of the roads were salted and sanded, but the side roads were bad. My parent's road was pretty slick and their driveway was a solid sheet of ice. I was able to drive up the slightly angled driveway, though. However, I realized I had forgotten something a couple hours later and went out to the car to get it. My car was part way out in the road. :lol: I took a bag of salt out and put it down, then drove the car back up into the driveway.

We got ice too. Main roads were fine driving in, it's just the first 8 miles were on crappy ones which slowed me down. I still made it in early, so I guess it could have been worse.
