Snow Update ... er, What Snow?

So a full day has passed since the snowstorm of 2008, and you would never know it except for the white rings of mountains surrounding Las Vegas. The sun shone all day long, and the snow has melted across the valley. I am sad to see it go so fast. The more snow, the better. At least the kids and teachers got an honest-to-goodness snow day, with schools canceled across the valley. I had to go to work.

We're Talking SNOW!

Everyone who's lived in Las Vegas for a while knows that it snows from time to time -- I'd say, on average, about once every two years. Well, my friend Jeff must have brought some winter weather with him from Winnipeg, because we are talking SNOW here tonight! Accumulations of 3-10 inches are predicted for the entire valley. I will be highly disappointed if I wake up tomorrow to see all that snow melted, or worse, rain, as predicted. I wish I had some pictures, but both cameras aren't working. It took us an hour and a half to get home, including a slippery slide up a normally pretty tame hill because of packed snow and possibly ice. It's thrilling -- I can't keep the smile off my face, unless I'm driving. I hope the mess isn't too bad out there tonight and tomorrow we can wake up to that blessed event -- a SNOW DAY!
