SNOW: in vegas????
yeah, so we got snow....lots of snow, in some places close to a whole foot (very top of anthem/7hills area)
Summer tires do not work in the snow...i got stuck on a huge hill for an hour until i got some help from some people to push me out, sorry for the crappy photos, old cell phone....but you get the idea.
some of the photos are from eary in the afternoon (around 3pm ish) and the two night pictures are from about 6 pm ish.

Edit: i just realized this. how do you clear off your cars? i mean, i drive around with a snow brush/ice scraper in my car for 6 months of the year...but im sure you guys are pretty screwed right now.

It snows every once in a while. Some time back in the late 60s it snowed so hard here that all the roads were closed for 24 hours. Most of the Mazda peeps here have not be alive long enough to see the extremes.
Snow plows? Why would you want snow plows when the snow only lasts for a few hours. I's too dam warm here for it to stay. Surprise, surprise we really do have them but they have been converted to clean up after a flash flood. Now they have them on Mt. Charleston as it's 11,000 feet and inundated with snow.
