Im surprised no one started a thread about this already, but where I was in LV we had 2-3 inches on the ground. I know the whole vally got some. Crazyness, the ski resort here, 40 miles away, has gotten 6 feet in the last 1.5-2 weeks! Didnt think Id ever need snow tires here, the drive to work was a little slippery this morning!

 

what? i'm trying to get away from all this snow in Chicago.. and there's snow in Vegas?! What up with that? This better not be a permanent thing

 

im going to vegas in feb for valentines i just hope it will be in the 60's
time to pray to the weather gods
sorry i just watched TROY

 

Holy Moley! Snow in Vegas on the strip? Got any pics from local news channels? Gotta see this.. Hey Dan(Rotarynews.com), can you confirm?

 

Ya hey Flipstream, you sure about that move to Vegas now?

 

No Snow in Green Valley. I heard it was all up in Summerlin.

 

There's no stopping.. the house here IS for sale! ... Vegas here i come! :D

DOH! .. Summerlin's where we're looking for a place! Hmmm.. maybe i should look around Green Valley and Henderson... any suggestions?

 

Summerlin is prettier because it is close to the spring mountains and it does get an occasional snow becuase it is at a higher elevation. The biggest problem in Summerlin is traffic congestion.

GV is less congested, almost never sees snow, but it is farther from the spring mountains.

My advice is to stay at GV-Ranch a couple days to check out GV and stay a couple days at the Regent to check out Summerlin.

Good luck.

 

Hmmm.. we were driving through 95 during the Christmas holiday.. didn't seem so bad. How bad is traffic? It can't be worse than Chicago traffic now eh?

 

I acutally worked in Lake Forrest and in the Ft. Sheridan area for a while and lived in Wisconsin. Occassionally, I would have to make the trip into the loop, so I have a little familiarity with Chicago traffic. Traffic in Summerlin during the work week sees stop and go rush traffic. When we first moved here we lived on the NW side of town and I work downtown. After my average commute time rose from 15 minutes to 45 minutes over the course of 18 months we moved to the GV area. If you live North of the Rainbow Curve traffic sucks getting to the city/strip and heading home after 4/5pm.

Good luck. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

 

Yup, and I was pissed when I came out of class...I was like NOOOOOO!!!

The RX-8 got filthy as hell but hey, thats life I guess. Snow in Vegas.

 

Thanks for the info.. we're actually going back out there in April -- house hunting time! we'll prob spend a lil time in Summerlin and GV to get a feel of the areas..

 

Where's the "This thread is worthless w/o pics!!" banner?

I can honestly say I've never seen snow on a palm tree till that day. INSANE!

 

 

wow.. must've taken everyone by surprise.. but, did it all melt the next morning?

 

It didn't last even in the areas where it accumulated. I work downtown and we watched the snow fall but the ground was to warm to allow accumulation. Higher up in Summerlin I heard it stuck to the groud but it didn't last that long.
