Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

LOL.

Talk about snow here in MN. Dude, last night I couldn't open my garage to buy groceries.

But I love it when only 3 inches of snow closes highways and schools in Las Vegas and the South. It's so funny, since not even 8 inches would close highways or schools over here. They're such wussies.

i know dude. i had to scrape ice off the inside of my windshield because the condensation froze to it.

I love watching my dog try to eat snow that has partially thawed, and then frozen again

But snow in the desert is crazy!

I've heard theories that global warming will cause the world to cool...

Okay, in our defense (yeah, I'm one of those Las Vegas wimps), our snow is more dangerous than your snow.

Las Vegas snow happens while weather is just slightly below the freezing point, which makes the snow sit in that middle ground between freezing and not freezing.  That means the water turns to ice when it hits pavement.  Iced roads=bad.



And by the way, yes, I did have fun in the snow.  It's like the first snow I've seen in years and I had a free day.  smile


As a little side note... school was closed today, yet by about 9 am everything was bone dry.  tongue

Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

Note:  Places in the south don't have as many snow plows/salt/sand as places in the north.  For good reason; because they normally don't need it.  That's why, not because they are wussies tongue

Oh yeah, that too.  Las Vegas owns absolutely NO snow plows.

Glad you had a good time in the snow Zarf. Btw, we get icey roads too. People skidding around, and the noob 16 year olds zomg. However, you live through it. Black ice is the real annoyance, but we get used to that too. Nonetheless, the ice doesn't last long because the government melts it with mad salt.

Have you ever driven in Las Vegas?  It's a uniquely bad traffic hellhole anyway.  tongue

Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

It was quite a sight to see snow on the way to Vegas. Very different from the usual brown and yellow.

Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

Zarf,

Traffic wasn't bad when I was there. Though I can tell you that Phoenix is worse.... golf carts... everywhere.

Soth,

No offense bro, but I think it's about time you get a new car.

Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

good times in icy roads. i was going 70mph on the highway, hit a huge patch of black ice, i was skidding for like half a mile, was able to stay in my lane entire time.

Re: Omfg Snow In Vegas!!

Lucky fools! We've had one of the mildest falls on record here. Less then 20 years ago, it was common to have a little bit of snow on the ground at Halloween, but this year we've had no lasting snow until recently (and that only lasted a week). Hopefully the winter will be better. I love the frozen fluff smile
