Groovy Las Vegas Snowstorm of 2008
Yes, Virginia, sometimes it does snow in Las Vegas, albeit never this much, I don’t think. I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing some weather records listed in tomorrow’s newspaper.
This is taken from the garage. I learned a lesson earlier that my beloved Crocs that I use for roaming around downstairs and in the back yard, are very very very dangerous when worn on an icy driveway. I got really lucky that when I slipped and fell, no major damage was done. I think I have a disk that’s just waiting for any little reason to ooze out of its little protective nook. Anyway, if you click on this picture and look at the bigger size, it looks like I faked the jumbo snowflakes with Photoshop. They’re huge and fluffy.
This was after I smartened up and went upstairs to get boots to wear outside. Boots that actually have tread. And it was still slippery.
This is the back yard - wanna go for a swim?
This is the front of the house, lit up with a tiny outdoor heater for the stray cat that we feed. It’s very festive looking, huh?

Very cool! I love the snow-covered pool and palm trees. What a bizarre sight. Hope you’re enjoying the novelty of it. I’m having snow envy now.

I love when we have snow, especially because we’re not expected to do anything other than stay home and enjoy it. No one in Las Vegas is prepared to drive, walk, go to school, go to work, in a snowstorm. We’re programmed to run inside and get our cameras. Then, we take pictures. If the snows starts to stick, people with kids run inside and everyone puts on their winter clothing and then they go sledding and make snowmen.
