We moved to Vegas from Kansas City earlier this year partly because my wife and I have gotten more intolerant to cold weather. So what do we see this morning? Snow on the ground! OK, it isn’t a midwest style snow, just a nice dusting that probably won’t last the day, but it wasn’t something that we were expecting. Oh well.

On a lighter side, the snow on the mountains is pretty nice. If you haven’t been to Vegas, it is in valley so obviously we are surrounded by mountains. Some have vegetation on them but most are open rock. Seeing them with a light snow looks pretty cool. Not a snow covered peak like Mt. St. Helens, Mt Hood, etc. but nice covering. Oh yea, and seeing now covered palm trees is pretty cool too, something you never think of when you think about palm trees. If the snow does happen to stay around tomorrow we’ll have to get picture of some of them.
