Lately, in Las Vegas...

...snow in the desert. Can you believe that?
Visitors gather under the famous sign welcoming motorists on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip during a rare snowstorm December 17, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Several inches of snow were expected to accumulate in and around Las Vegas.
While some people might detect some beauty in this weather phenomenon others might groan. We clearly belong to the latter...

    The sky just dropped nearly three feet of snow on us.We're still trying to dig our way out.More is promised for tomorrow.In the next few days we have to be so many places,we'll have to go in the truck which was built for driving through heavy snow and ice.
    The whole province is immobilized.It's great to see everybody helping each other.If the snow gets too much for us to handle,the army comes to dig us out.
    So,frankly,I don't feel a lot of sympathy for the folks in Las Vegas.It's just an interesting anomoly which will pass quickly.
    It's just a part of the crazy climate changes caused by global warming....Later Luv...

  2. Oh my, poor Jeannie...I can imagine how bad that is. We had that huge amount of snow when I was a child. It was a nightmare.
    However, you Canadians are used to it while the poor people in LV won't know how to deal with it and I am sure not equipped for it.
    Anyway, I hope for you it gets better..
