Vegas got eight inches of snow.

Seeing some pretty wild photos from Joshua Tree / Yucca Valley this morning. Absolutely blanketed in snow ATM.
I live on the outskirts of Summerlin and when I walked outside this morning, I legit thought I had somehow ended up in the Midwest.
Ireland is also experiencing its second warmest winter is recent years. Only 2012 was slightly warmer. This time last year it was snowing.
Nothing like walking out from NYNY into snow lol, thats a trip
Correct. I've been watching the 511 pages for Nevada and Arizona (my mother is trying to get back home from an Arizona trip) and there's been so many reports of people sliding off the highways today.
Yeah, had a coworker tell me he got something like 4 inches near his house, and he saw that the Summerlin area apparently got even more than that.
Meanwhile, where I live in AZ we've got about a foot and a half of snow. This cold front is some crazy stuff.

Winter tires or no, I think it's more that most people don't know how to drive on snowy roads. If you go out there and drive the speed limit or higher, stomping on the gas/brakes, you're going to have a bad time.
North Phoenix y'all. Too cold for the damn hot tub. I tried.
Sub 30 is the BEST time for the hot tub though.
Right? lol the colder the better usually. But, I think I killed the warmth because I was in it before the white started hitting. Nothing, and I mean nothing beats precipitation and 30-40 degrees in a hot tub with your booze of choice.
I'd say it's more dangerous if the city wasn't prepared to salt the roads ahead of time.
Do be aware that most of the city is not affected and in fact, where I am, it's mostly all melted. Driving here is back to just knowing how to drive on wet roads (which most people still don't know how to do admittedly)
Arizona, on the other hand, seems to still be caught in a blizzard.

Disappointing. The college-specific parties are so-so, UNLV/CSN campuses are aight, but there's good food and everything is open super late so that's dope.
Don't need snow tires, lived in Wisconsin for 20 years. It's just that folks won't know how to drive in it..... Most can't even drive when it's dry let alone wet or icy.

Jet stream's fucked, guys. Everyone out. Let's try this again on Mars and let's not fuck it up this time.
I reported it to the mods. Hopefully they do it. Half an inch to eight inches. Apparently Las Vegas's snow erection is a grower not a shower.
The outer edges of town got more snow. The deeper you are in the valley, the less you got. The strip did get snow, and the hockey fan in me noticed it started right at puck drop last night.
Driving today was basically the same as any normal rain this time of year. All of the snow melted upon touching the tarmac and our temperature never went below freezing. The increase in accidents is because we suck at driving in any precipitation.

Wow, 8 inches is a lot even by Canadian standards. Stay safe and enjoy; you guys can be thankful that it's warm enough that it will melt all on its own and you won't have to shovel it :P
Early the title was a half inch. I laughed.
Now 8 inches? You guys/gals okay? Seriously, it not normal for you folk.

I'm happy for you guys, I hate snow but its beautiful when fresh. As long as you stay safe (i'm sure you all aren't used to driving with white stuff), enjoy it!!
I'm fascinated by weather so this is awesome.

If the stratosphere in the Arctic warms any more we're going to see blizzards at Blizzard HQ in SoCal.
By driving like grandmas. Driving home from work on both Sunday and Wed night (from Mandalay Bay) it starting coming down and everyone was cautious at 11pm.
No, it's not about winter tires. It's a combination of:
1. The city not having things in place to prepare and to minimize the impact of the snow and ice on roads and sidewalks.
2. The majority of people not knowing how to drive in snow.
3. Many people distracted by the spectacle since they never see it, resulting in more accidents.
When a city only sees a light dusting every once in a while, 5-8 inches is dangerous.
That or you woke up in a new version of Silent Hill and that is ash falling, not snow
It's completely melted today in the metro area, and next week the expected forecast is in the 60s. You'll be fine.
