Vegas baby, Vegas!

I know "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," but I have a feeling the WINTER STORM that dumped the most SNOW on LAS VEGAS in more than 30 years will probably affect a few other areas before it is finished.
Las Vegas officially received 3.6 inches of snow.
Here in DUBUQUE, we are awaiting a winter storm that could drop as much as 9 inches of the white stuff. We have already received 9.8 inches this season, and winter hasn't even officially begun.
Ill-equipped to handle snow, officials in southern Nevada grounded flights at the airport and closed major highways and schools for today.
That's highly unusual for them. We could face the same situation tonight and tomorrow. That's becoming all too usual for us.
