Yesterday, there was a blizzard in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. The blizzard started when I was at work, and I was not prepared at all to spend 9 hours outside in snow. Brrrrrrrr... Cody was at the Flamingo when I got off work, our plan was to go out to eat with the family but that was quickly nixed because Las Vegas does not have any snow plows. Kelli and Alan drove Cody back to our apartment through the nasty traffic and 4 inches of snow. The normally 10 minute drive took them 1 and a half hours! The drive back to the hotel took them 45 minutes.My drive home from work was scary, there was 3 inches on the road, and the road is not designed for snow. Lots of hills and sharp curves, I was sliding everywhere when I was in 4 wheel drive going 25 mph in my SUV. It took me 2 hours to get home, when it normally takes a little less than an hour.
The snow total at our apartment this morning was 7 inches! It broke the record amount of snowfall. But of course, the warmth is back today, and a good portion of the snow is already gone. There was still enough snow for my boss to cancel driving to work today, so I am working from home. Kelli and Alan are driving home today, drive safe guys! We had fun, and can't wait to see you at Christmas!

YIKES!!! Fun times, except for no snow plows! I know what that's like. The first year I lived in west texas, we got one foot of snow in a day. CHOAS! Thankfully, it's flatter then flat flat out there, so that wasn't an issue. But the accidents and people stuck was outrageous!
