Snow in the Spring – only in Utah!
Utah has the strangest weather. I have lived here since 1995-1996 and the weather just gets weirder every year, which I tribute to Global Warming. It is SPRING TIME and are still getting snow! Last Spring right before Easter my daughter was able to go sledding in the backyard.
I am really tired of the snow. I am ready for sun and fun. That is okay, at the end of April we are headed to Arizona and in May we are going on a cruise so I can enjoy a tropical drink on the ocean like last year. I am very excited! : D
It Snowed in Las Vegas and as of a week ago it FINALLY SNOWED IN UTAH!
Winter Weather Hits Las Vegas
The Clark County School District has closed schools for Thursday. Students and teachers do not have to report to school, but the district says all administrators, 12-month employees, and office staff should report to work as usual. No flights are taking off or landing at McCarran International Airport due to poor visibility and flights from around the country that are headed to Las Vegas are being kept on the ground until the weather improves. Ian Gregor with the FAA says McCarran doesn’t have any snow removal equipment, so planes can’t leave safely. US-95 is closed at Mile Marker 16, just north of Searchlight due to poor road conditions and an accident. Nevada Highway Patrol and NDOT have also closed US-95 at Railroad Pass due to ice and snow.
Wow, I am surprised in Snowed in Vegas. I see that they had shut down schools and such, to me that sounds like something only the South would do LOL. I only remember it snowing in Vegas when I was a kid and I remember a snow flake falling on this piece of junk car. That is as far as my memory goes back of being a kid and living in Las Vegas. (I was born and raised till I was 14 years old and then I had moved to Utah with my family).
Speaking of Utah, it had FINALLY snowed here! I am surprised and hate it. I almost slipped on black ice three times. Its horrible. I love it though because I did want to take snow pictures this year since I do not have any and it is good for Christmas to have snow I guess. You know, White Christmas and all. But because of the part that I dislike about it very much, I was considering buying myself a bath of snow salt and/or good snow boots. Depends. We did go sledding briefly one evening, that was fun. I mostly watched. LOL! And took pictures of course. 
Where is the Winter? Snow?
I am a little perplexed right now and scratching my head, trying to figure out where Winter is?
See I live in Utah. Its supposed to SNOW here. Its Mid-November and still hardly any Snow! I work in Customer Service and when people ask me where I am from, I tell them Utah and then they ask me how the weather is here and if I ski. I say well, its pretty sunny here, almost like SUMMER, and no there is hardly ANY Snow right now.
Now ironically I am not a huge fan of Cold, or Winter, or Snow. I would rather have Winter now though and get it over with. I don’t Ski, Snowboard, or anything like that. Though if I were to try anything, it would Sledding and Snowmobiling.
In High School, when I lived in the colder front of Utah (up in the mountains practically). It would snow a lot. I used to slip a lot on the ice and hated it. I would always slip on icy stairs…Ugh I shudder at the thought thinking of it now.
I am sure we will get snow by Christmas though. I also have been wanting to take pictures in the snow. Since I love taking pictures!
Well there you have it! Snowless? Winter.
