Yes, it is snowing here in Las Vegas (and not just in Summerlin, Spring Valley and at the higher elevations) and it is sticking to the ground.
Here on the eastside of town, near Tropicana and Eastern, we are enjoying one of the rarest sights in Las Vegas, snowfall.
"Oh the weather outside is frightful"
"And the fire is so delightful"
"And since we've no place to go"
"LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW"
It probably won't last overnight but for now we are enjoying it!
