I just went outside to have a smoke and found snow falling to the ground. In Las Vegas. Nevada. Snow. In Vegas. Real snow. But it is not sticking to the ground. It’s melting. Still, snow in Vegas is pretty amazing. Slee ---

The local news here in Knoxville just showed an image of it. Naturally, it’s dark there (as it is here), and it looked nothing but foggy, but I thought it was incredibly cool. When was the last time Vegas had snow? ---

Just to add a total ‘clanger’ once again (seems that’s all I ever do, and in the process all I truly do is stop every single topic, sorry guys ‘n’ gals… ☹ )… but anyway, over here in Ausralia we are, at the moment having temperatures that are 100 degrees - well at least in MY little neck of the woods… it’s damned hot and I so wish for snow or rain or even cold temps! Please enjoy your weather as I sit here totally hating summer! _shuffles out feeling incredibly self-conscious for even stopping by_ :wally ---

Cripes! We’re still snowless in Chicago and I’m looking on the dark side…I figure it’s just a late start to winter and it’ll last until the end of May. I hate snow. I hate cold. I need warm temps, but if it’s snowing in Vegas, I’m going to have to go a helluva lot farther than I thought to cultivate a tan! ---
