Snow in the Desert

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and everyone knows its one of the hottest places in the United States. It gets to 120 degrees every summer and stays warm all year round.

Today 12/19/06 is snowed here in Las Vegas! It was really exciting that it snowed here in the desert!

This is our neighbors yard and he's the only one with grass, so I took a pic of the snow on the grass.

Our truck with snow on it. Its funny, we bought this truck when we still lived in Minnesota and it never got to see the snow. When it finally sees the snow its in the desert!

This is the street behind my house. These are the red mountains that all the locals like to bike through and take hikes on. They obviously can't do that today since for the first time in a LONG time there is snow on them!H

Here are the red mountains again from a distance. Note the palm trees, they look so funny with snow in the background.
