VEGAS SNOW!!!!

On Saturday when I was getting off from work Grant (the little boy I watch that is 8) told me that he just knew it was going to snow sometime over the weekend. I told him not to get his hopes up, "it never snows here," I reminded him. Grant was very persistent that it would snow, because his music teacher told him all about it and he knows everything! So I laughed and told him I hoped it snowed so his teacher wouldn't be wrong.
Then on Monday, Palmer and I were driving to Hawthorne and on our way out of town sure enough, it was snowing in North LV. I was as surprised as anyone. Now it wasn't very much snow but enough for everyone to start driving like complete idiots.
But the real surprise came in the last three hours... It is actually snowing! REAL SNOW!! So far there is about 2 inches and the snow just keeps on coming. I got out my coat and everything to take Tootsy out for her first snow. She doesn't know what to think; she was sliding all over the sidewalk and eating all the snow off the ground.
Its amazing how many people absolutely hate that is snowing here. I went to the bank and Barnes Noble and both places were full of people complaining that its snowing. "I moved to Vegas to get away from the snow," is what everyone says. Well it probably won't snow again for two years so I'm the person outside taking pictures and making snowballs!
