snow in vegas

Today was a nice sunny day - lots of wind, which I have found is quite normal. At least the sunshine made up for the cold, but it did get to 60F this afternoon. Looking at the two pictures I put up yesterday brought to mind an event that happened a few months ago - supposedly something that Las Vegas has not seen in ten years.

These are olive trees in the yard across the street from my house on December 30. During the night we had about four inches of snow. Walking around there were lots of snowmen created in the streets - I guess it was easier to roll the snow on the smooth asphalt than on a rocky yard. This is something we didn't have in San Diego at all.
