City of Las Vegas recovering after unexpected, record-breaking snow
KRQE ^ | November 9, 2024 | bela olague

Record-breaking snow hit areas across the state over the last few days, forcing road closures and keeping some residents of Las Vegas home.

It started with light snowflakes: “And then it started piling up more so it kind of shocked me. And to be stuck at home for the first time in a while not being able to get out was kind of crazy,” said Zachary Vigil, a Las Vegas resident.

The storm started on Monday producing over 30 inches of snow blanketing parts of Las Vegas leading to hours-long power outages.

“We don’t typically see this powerful of a snowstorm come in this early in the season. So, roadways were not as equipped to deal with this amount of snowfall as it would be if we saw it late December, early January,” said Josh Redwine, KRQE News 13’s Meteorologist.

News 13’s Meteorologist Josh Redwine said Las Vegas averages about four inches of snow in all of November, meaning over the last few days, they saw nearly eight times the normal amount.

City Manager Tim Montgomery said the snow stopped early Thursday evening, allowing crews to manage the high volume of snowfall.

I think it was two years ago that we left 60 degree weather in Omaha in March and went to Prescott, AZ where we got 8” of snow.

Oh, this is Las Vegas, New Mexico at like 6500 feet altitude. Probably a lot more snow and more precipitation in general than in Nevada.

Interesting.

Las Vegas is hosting a Formula 1 street race in a couple of weeks. This late in the year, ya just never know.

(I once had a flight canceled while in Texas in a typically nice wx time of the year. Snow in Dallas.)

This was what frequently occurred when Algore was in town to push the Global Warming scam.

It became known as The Gore Effect.

There used to be a great Rough Rider Museum there. For years they had a reunion in Las Vegas, NM, because many of the young men came from NM, AZ and West TX.

“Flashback 2000: Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”

'A Creed for the Third Millennium' by Colleen McCullough

review by David Matthews • April 1986, no. 79

The apocalypse might have seemed like pretty stimulating stuff when St John was writing about it, but these days. the post-Apocalyptic landscape is a well-trodden literary territory. This fact notwithstanding, Colleen McCullough’s latest screen-fodder epic, A Creed for the Third Millennium, goes back to the future one more time, to the year 2032, when mankind is under threat, not from nuclear war but from an incipient ice age. This is because the world’s glaciers have put on an uncharacteristic turn of speed, but curiously, this improbable and unexplained phenomenon is one of the few indications that the setting is the future – otherwise the impression one gains is that technology has stood still for fifty years.

They will never make up their minds.   The truth is that each time one group screams global warming and attempts to fix it, the next group screams about global cooling and tries their fix.   The Climate Change idiots will destroy us all.
