Friends of mine who live near Las Vegas got some unusual snow today. Thought you might like the pictures. Snow on palm trees is an interesting sight! http://www.reviewjournal.com/webextras/snow2003/index.html

Yep, the cold front is here, too! Snow on the valley floor in Portland, OR. (Happens occasionally, but hasn't for several years.) I just drove home in it and it's not too bad yet, but I bet it will be icy as heck tomorrow morning. Glad I won't have to go anywhere! Sure is pretty, though.

Thanks for sharing the link Gemma! It was fun seeing the snow on the palm trees. I especially like the photo titled "Snowcat"...it was cute!

If you ever want to just pop-in and see what the weather is like here, you might want to check out the various views of KLAS' Webcams. There are several views with which to play. It was fun watching the kids play in the snow. We officially received an inch at the airport, but I measured two inches on my balcony railing. Since we need to have 155% of normal snowpack in the mountains to even make a dent in the Lake Mead drought conditions, I was thrilled to see the snow in the Valley.

Hi Lkunkel - I live in Las Vegas also. Last time it snowed like that in the valley was November 1997 (about 9a). Made national news that day. So "fun" to have the hubby come home from a night shift and wake me up at 6am with a snowball. There was still a good 2 inches on the top of his car after driving home from the Air Force Base. And people out here don't know how to drive when there is anything wet on the road. Fortunately, I could wait at home until after 8a before venturing out on those roads - most of the accidents had already occurred by then. 'squeek'

Kona: It's incredible that so few people know how to drive on snow given our diverse population. But, c'est la vie. Glad to meet you, btw.

Dh is on a "winter" cammpout, when he left it was 60 degrees (Chicago area!) The weather channel is predicting mucho snow - so now the big question, will there be a snow day on the FIRST day back of school? IF there is, we predict many sahms to jump out the window!!

My brother and SIL went to Vegas for the holidays to escape the snow...meanwhile we've been having a chinook. Now that the chinook is over (-45C windchill), they're coming home

Reader, if we had a snow day on Monday, I'm fairly certain I might still try to drop the kids off at school, LOL.

We are being blanketed with the white stuff in Iowa today! As much as I hate snow, I really welcome the moisture...so for the first time in my life...I am not complaining about it.
