Comments on: The Las Vegas Blizzard of 2008 http://www.casinoguide.com/blogs/live-reports/the-las-vegas-blizzard-of-2008/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:38:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Stephen http://www.casinoguide.com/blogs/live-reports/the-las-vegas-blizzard-of-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-412 Stephen Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:54:10 +0000 http://wp.casinoguide.com/lifeinvegas/?p=1197#comment-412 I remember well the snow storm of 79. I was directing traffic under the canopy at the Stardust, I worked security there at the time. It was snowing that hard I could barely see the Silver City across the street. It was great. I finished work at 11pm working swing shift. I went home and took my wife for a ride up to Mt. Charleston at midnite in my truck....surprisingly we were the only ones on the road which made Mt. Charleston kind of desolate and beautiful....nobody but us two were moving that nite as the snow kept falling. Its a wonderful memory, the peace,quiet and solitude of the mountain....especially after 8 hrs at the then very busy,noisy Stardust. I remember well the snow storm of 79.

I have seen it go from 100 degrees to snow in less then three DAYS.

Just wanted to tell you that at least once ! We came in Vegas this spring (from Switzerland) and the pleasure of our stay was due in a large part to the advices and comments I read in your site. If Terry Gillian want to produce a LV Parano II, you should be the screenwriter. Like alwass on this site or this other, reading your stuff is one of the best 3min we can have on the net.

I'm living in Vancouver now right now and we've been having -20 degree Celsius weather... it's nuts! This is absolutely crazy what the heck is going on with the weather these days.

It didn't accumulate much, but enough. It was January 12, 2007, I believe. Coldest it has ever been in Vegas (that I was there), the wind chill was in the single digits and it was miserable to go anywhere outside. Rex,
