LAS VEGAS – A winter storm moved through Las Vegas Sunday covering the ground with snow and prompted road closures.

Up to two inches of snow accumulated on the western areas of Las Vegas overnight, FOX 5 Vegas reported Monday. The snowy conditions caused traffic issues throughout the area.

Nevada Department of Transportation closed both directions of Interstate 15 between Stateline and St. Rose Parkway Monday morning. Las Vegas Boulevard near I-15 was also closed to traffic.

NDOT workers were plowing the snow and adding salt and sand to freeway lanes.

“This cold air mass is staying in place through the week ahead,” a FOX 5 Vegas weathercaster Sam Argier said.

 

Of course, this isn't the first time they've seen snow in Las Vegas....it's just that it doesn't usually fall from the sky...
