snow in vegas!!!!!

damaclese · 12-18-2008, 09:04 PM

we had a storm last night that dumped up to 10" of snow on are little slice of Paradise this was an all time record people were freaking out and the accident rate was so heavy that know one knows as of yet how many there really were we haven't had snow since 1999 and this is the second time this week we had 4" pm Tue and they are predicting more snow on sat and sun Global warming? who knows for sure but it was exciting Ye-Ha

Lagniappe · 12-18-2008, 09:58 PM

It's snowed on several of my Vegas trips over the last six years. It never stuck but,not being from there, I thought it was a regular occurance. :P

Feels pretty cool here in NorCal as well. I thought a couple of times this week that we might get snow. It snowed once around here about 35-40 years ago but it melted before I got out of school!

Merry Christmas,

Harvey

This has been a strange year Pauly, it seems out west you all are having record snows and I've only had one small storm with a couple of inches. We are waiting for a 5-8" blast today. Here though it tends to stay on the ground a lot longer. I haven't paid as much attention through the years to weather in all different parts of the country like I am now but, in Aurora Colorado in January years ago , there was about 4" of snow one day......the streets weren't even plowed and the next day was 70 degrees. Is this kind of how it is in your area?

lorax · 12-19-2008, 11:43 AM

There was snow on the perimeter volcanoes (which are normally bare) this morning, which is something that has happened only twice before in the 500+ year recorded history of this city. I never thought I'd say this, but it's freaking chilly here in Ecuador!

damaclese · 12-19-2008, 04:29 PM

yes its stacking up to be a long wet winter here in the south west and yes it snows up in the higher elevations of mount Charleston all the time its at 11000 ft but down here in the valley we are between 2100 and 3400 ft respectively so snow is a rarity the last meager snow was in 1999 and that was 3 or 4 inches i don't remember the exact amount

well Lorax all have to knit you a Banana Yellow scarf so you wont freeze

lorax · 12-19-2008, 06:30 PM

I have one, Pauly! Red, blue, and banana yellow - it's a national football scarf.

Patty in Wisc · 12-21-2008, 02:42 AM

I was shocked to hear about snow in Vegas! And, I think California too. Most of the country is snowing! This is global warming!!!???
We broke a record here with over 33 inches so far just this month. Fri I dug 2 ft of snow away from my car to get it out. Tonight we just got 4 more inches & now temps will drop with wind chills below zero & very gusty winds to make big drifts. Lots of ppl stuck but everyone helps everyone dig out. My neighbors with snow blowers take turns & go up the block so I am lucky with not shoveling so much in front sidewalk... whew! It will snow every day thru next weekend except for Christmas day---a day to relax!
Sure looks pretty out there, everything is so white.

dablo93 · 12-21-2008, 05:10 AM

Hey, Patty, I think you should ask for a "refund" as we have been sold a theory by politicians and mainstream media. Not all scientists support this theory, including some very prominent ones. This site is a political one but has some pretty interesting facts: .: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Minority Page :.

Cool in California.

Harvey

Patty in Wisc · 12-21-2008, 01:49 PM

WOW, on my signature it shows actual temp here is -6f. I can hear the wind slamming into the house. Afraid to leave, but gotta get groceries - like CHESTNUTS LOL.

lorax · 12-21-2008, 02:29 PM

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas
One free of shovel-loads of snow!
Where the nanner-leaves glisten
And children listen
To hear the fire-crackers blow.....

damaclese · 12-21-2008, 03:36 PM

L and P you both are so funny!LOL

harveyc · 12-21-2008, 05:52 PM

My bananas mostly have black leaves now (but fruit is hanging on and bagged, to be picked any day), so I wouldn't mind some snow. It did snow here about 35-40 years ago but it was melted by the time I got out of school. There are forecast periods over the next few days where snow is possible, but not likely.

My Ae Ae are cozy in my greenhouse, fortunately.

Patty in Wisc · 12-21-2008, 10:12 PM

Lorax, that was good...too funny!
Harvey, I'd gladly send you some snow. Glad your fruit is hanging on even though the leaves are black.
I think I saw a guy on crack in the store parking lot. He was wearing tennis shoes & socks, bare legs w/ baggy shorts, light jacket, no gloves & no hat! Gotta be crack!
I had my heavy long undies on & layers of clothes with hood up & insulated boots & could still feel the cold on my legs. Guess I'm just a wee wee when we get wind chills of almost 40 below 0. That is so cold, that when you breath in deeply your lungs flash freeze & they stick for a moment. Scary.
Never got my CHESTNUTS...they were 'only' at a different pick & save. Tomorrow.

lorax · 12-21-2008, 11:06 PM

I'm so glad I don't live in Northern Canada anymore. It was worth my friends calling me a nutcase to escape the windchills...

harveyc · 12-22-2008, 04:50 AM

Patty, the shipping for that snow would be a killer, but thanks for the offer. A friend from Minnesota was suggesting I come visit the winter wonderland there, as if that is supposed to be a complimentary term. I'm debating telling him that some of us think of it in terms of "I wonder how anyone can live in that land???!!!!" LOL

Good luck on your chestnut expedition!

Not all of my banana leaves are black but most are pretty dark. Our frost hasn't been that heavy but we did get down to about 27F the other night. I think that's probably enough to end any growth on my nanners!

Patty in Wisc · 12-23-2008, 07:50 PM

We are having a heat wave ---it's in low 20's today & no wind. We just got another 5 inches this morning & 5-7 inches on the way tonight. Yesterday was -2 but felt warm without that nasty wind. We got total 36 inches just this month -so far.
WE ARE HAVING A HEAT WAVE!!

buzzwinder · 12-23-2008, 08:11 PM

Gonna be 46 degrees saturday with rain, I'm curious as to what the end of my driveway is going to be like, the snow is piled 6 feet high at the curb and 30 inches along the side of the drive, This has been one wacky Dec. yesterdays high was 3 degrees Below Zero with a windchill of 35 below, today its been in the low twenties and we're looking for another 4-6 inches of snow overnight, even the kids don't like it anymore. Scot, I think you picked the right year to move to nevada, as winter 08 in the Rockford area has been a pain in the shoveler, 4 months till spring, Think I'll have another BEER,
