EXTREMELY RARE SNOW EVENT ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST...

AN UNUSUAL COMBINATION OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AND COLD... NORTHERLY... LOW LEVEL AIR HAS PRODUCED A RARE SNOWSTORM ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE MOHAVE DESERT... INCLUDING THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY. THIS SNOWSTORM WILL PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY AS 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW ARE LIKELY AT MOST LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE... PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE VALLEY WHERE TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO 10 INCHES ARE FORECAST.

THE SNOW BEGAN TO FALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE BIGGEST SNOWSTORM TO IMPACT LAS VEGAS SINCE 1979... WHEN 7.8 INCHES OF SNOW WAS MEASURED AT MCCARRAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT IS EXTREMELY LIMITED IN THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY AND THE EFFECTS FROM THIS STORM WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES QUICKLY REBOUND IN MANY INSTANCES FOLLOWING SNOW IN THE LOWER DESERTS. THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE ON THURSDAY... AS THE TEMPERATURE WILL NOT CLIMB OUT OF THE 30S.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE LOWER DESERTS... ABOVE 2000 FEET... SNOWFALL OF 6 TO 18 INCHES IS EXPECTED. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS PLEASE SEE THE LATEST WINTER STORM WARNING

Rich...this is taking place in Las Vegas...they had snow on Monday as well. Up by Railroad Pass(150 minutes off the strip proper) they have over a foot of snow . I would expect that Hoover Dam would be getting snow as well. Hwy 95 is shut down...

We are about to get hit by the same storm...though it looks like we'll just get rain...between 1 and 4 inches.

Mark...I had heard that Malibu (and other Los Angeles areas) were getting snow as well.

Ya gotta love global warming

I just got pics from my sister who lives in Hesperia, Ca (high desert off Hwy 15 near the Cajon Pass).

Here are some pics with my niece McKenzie experiencing the second time snow has fallen at their house...

Earlier in the day...





McKenzie having some cold fun
