SNOWED IN in VEGAS!?!?!

[CAPTAINNEO]

wtf.
I had a meeting scheduled for today (wed) at 5pm...planned on driving out this AM to make it for the meeting. Saw the weather yesterday, figured the cajon pass would get shut down due to snow...
I drove out last nite, to beat road closures/snow. I figured once i got in to LV, everything would be good.
Since im here for work, I'm staying at a hilton homewood suites (Airport). No casino. No bar. No restaurant downstairs. Homewood suites are normally dope, cause not only do you get free breakfest, you get free dinner as well...WITH FREE BEER.

Today around noon, it starts snowing. Wasn't sticking to the ground, so I thought nothing of it. By the time I'm done with lunch (~2pm), the snow starts sticking...By the time I headed out to my meeting, it was snowing like crazy, and my customers called to cancel the meeting. The MGR wanted his workers to get home ASAP, before the snow/ice got too crazy.

Fine. Figure I'll turn around and go back to the hotel for the free dinner and BEER. Get back too hotel. Free dinner was there...but NO BEER. Turns out Clark County wont approve this hotel due to their size.

Now I've been in my room for the past 5 hrs. Can't drive anywhere and there's nothing within walking distance. Hotel cancelled their shuttle service. WTF.

Who'd ever think you'd be in Vegas (where there's always something to do...) SNOWED IN.

To top it all off, the salesman for the LV territory didnt even make it out here cause of road closures, and I'm (company) is paying $100 for this hotel. Just looked online. I can be staying at almost any halfway decent casino on the strip (Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Flamingo, Bally's, etc) for less than this f'in Hilton.

I think today I've posted more on Zilvia than I have in the past year.

Thanks to Alex (mav1178) for referring me to the "nostalgic s-chassis" thread...I've been thru all 13 pages.

Talked about getting owned.

Thats like buying a bar the day before prohibition hits.

[BorHor]

Wow I didn't expect that to happen.

[SUPERSTAR]

[smirfs2k05]

Sorry to hear.. I was planning on going boarding today at mt high but the 138 is closed.. so i've been practicing my car control around town in the snow haha

In Vegas, all the snow is yellow.

[blu808]

I thought it was always snowing in vegas, but the snow comes from drug dealers.

I went to Vegas more than couple of years ago JUST as a huge storm hit and pretty much flooded the entire strip... I think it was 97 or 98.

[CAPTAINNEO]

keep in mind, all these pics were taken before 6pm. it snowed a good few hours longer...

[irax]

damn the world is going to end.. it fucking snowed in vegas.....


DAMN YOU AL GOOOOREEEE!!!!!!

[ryguy]

I can only imagine how badly the people are driving there, with no snow removal equipment, or even brushes to brush their cars off. Hell, people in Indianapolis don't even know how to drive in the snow, much less Vegas. When I went to Vegas as a kid it snowed a couple inches though, and because of that I wasnt able to go to the goddamn Grand Canyon.

2012 is the end guys...get ready for it. I think this is wht the Mayans predicted...their calendar ends in 2012 and so does the Chinese calendar I think. Dang...our weather has been nutty the past couple of years.

End of the World 2012 Countdown Timer

Doomsday...what a scary thought! Hope it doesnt happen...I still wanna do a lot of shit in life!!!

Snow in Vegas isn't anything new.



I drove my S13 on a snowy mountain road for the first time today, though. That was pretty rad. lol

you're right. snow in vegas isnt anything new, but when it gets anywhere from 1" (at the las vegas sign) to 11" (in the Mtn's) in less than 12 hours, that's kinda crazy.

enough to close the airport.
enough to shut down city bus routes.
enough to close roads in and out of vegas.
enough to collapse carports cause they cant support the weight.
enough to cancel school for close to 300,000 kids?

it's pretty crazy here.

THE END OF THE WORLD.......DON'T STOP DRIFTING.

[ALTRNTV]

So... global warming eh?

[sillyvia13]

we got a ICE STROM in nh that has shut down half the state for a week now.

But I got beer.
sorry to hear your bad luck.

moral of story, if going to vegas, stay with hookers. they got beer and the snow blu808's talking about!
