It's what they don't tell you. . .

When we moved to Las Vegas we were prepared to experience, or as some locals say, endure the Strip; live in a beautiful desert; and expect moderate winters. Last winter was just wonderful. After 35 years of midwestern snow and winters we have really enjoyed our new snow-less environment. All these expectations were true, right up until this morning.

Today we got 2 inches of snow. That's the part they didn't tell us about. I'm really not upset, it just was a surprise to us. Now we know, it's what they didn't tell us we need to be listening for. Of course, we didn't ask questions either.

The snow was beautiful and the best part is that it will be gone tomorrow. Then we can get back to normal - dry and beautiful.

Dad you will get plenty of cold and snow over the next few weeks out here in Iowa. It was in the mid 40s Sunday morning and hit 20 by noon and it has not been above 10 since. Now it is snowing. I am glad you already have your tickets bought.

You thought you were escaping, but lo and behold, SNOW in Vegas!
