View from the Front Window
This is the view from the front window during our “snow storm” from the other day, Monday, I think it was. As I mentioned in the post below…I am just now getting the photos downloaded off the card.
So we had snow again yesterday. On the rare occasion that Vegas gets snow, it usually hits my area…the NW part of Vegas, as was the case on Monday. However, yesterday, it started snowing again, only it hit everywhere BUT the NW part of town where we are. In fact the South and East parts of town got upwards of 8″ of snow yesterday!
Yeah! 8″ of snow, in LAS VEGAS!!! When people talk about hell freezing over, most people think of Vegas…between being know as “sin city” and the fact that it gets so freakin hot here in the Summer, but it officially froze over yesterday.
We did get a lot of snow yesterday, so much so that THEY SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOLS FOR TODAY! Yesterday was an “in service” day (teachers and admin working but kids were off) and today is a snow day! I’m stuck home with my kid for 2 days!!! (just kidding)
Meanwhile, Brian is in North Dakota for a job interview (I’m anxiously waiting by the phone for his call). He flew out early yesterday morning…before Las Vegas’ McCarren airport started cancelling flights (thank goodness he got out!).
When we found out he was going to ND for a job interview I started nagging at him to get some cold weather clothes…specifically a coat. He asked if I thought Kohl’s would have warm jackets. Ah, Yeah, cold for Las Vegas coats…not cold for ND coats. I told him he needed to go to a sporting goods store where they sold ski supplies. Did he listen, NO! So as soon as he got in his rental car, he called to bitch about how cold it was in ND and that he almost froze to death. (UM, HELLO! Did I not tell him to get his ass to Sportsmart???) He informed me that he was on his way to Schiel’s to get some warm clothes. MEN!!! Would it kill them to listen to their wives? We might actually save them some pain and suffering!!!
