Wow! Looks like I should have planned to stay in Seattle for New Years...Heres the special weather report from the NWS...FYI Cari Jones! ..VERY UNUSUAL WEATHER IN LAS VEGAS FOR NEW YEARS EVE AND DAY ... NORMALLY SUNNY AND MILD LAS VEGAS IS EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL AND POTENTIALLY HISTORIC WEATHER FOR THE NEW YEARS EVE INTO NEW YEARS DAY TIME PERIOD. A COLD AND SOMEWHAT MOIST STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PASS ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT BETWEEN TUESDAY NIGHT AND NEW YEARS DAY BRINGING A VARIETY OF HIGH IMPACT WEATHER WITH TO LAS VEGAS AND SURROUNDING AREAS. MANY TOURISTS WHO COME TO LAS VEGAS MAY BE UNPREPARED FOR THE TRUE WINTER-LIKE CONDITIONS THIS STORM COULD BRING WITH IT. TRAVEL CONDITIONS COULD BE DIFFICULT - IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE - ON AREA ROADS STARTING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO NEW YEARS DAY. SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT IS VERY LIMITED IN THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY ITSELF. PARKING ON ROADS PUTS YOUR VEHICLE AT RISK FOR BEING SLID INTO AND ALSO MAKES ACCESS ONTO STREETS HARDER FOR VEHICLES THAT NEED TO GET THROUGH. IN ADDITION ...ANY SNOW ...EVEN IF IT DOES NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH ACCUMULATION ...WILL MAKE WALKWAYS AND SIDEWALKS VERY SLIPPERY. WEARING SHOES WITH GOOD TRACTION IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID SLIP AND FALLS. EVEN IF SNOW IS LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT THAT FALLS ...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IN LAS VEGAS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 30S ON NEW YEARS EVE DAY AND ON NEW YEARS DAY. ANYONE WHO PLANS TO BE OUTSIDE SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREPARE FOR BEING EXPOSED TO NEAR FREEZING OR SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR SEVERAL HOURS. BRING LAYERS AND DRESS WARMLY.
