December Doings.. Let it snow?... not so much

So its old news now but it snowed in Vegas.  And I was one of the many who were stuck on the unprepared roads.  I had been up since 3 am.  We wrapped early at the Encore, and I was looking forward to some rest and relaxation with the kids and I had no idea what the weather had been up to.  Well.... boy howdy!
Well after going the the mall for a few hours because of backed up traffic and getting diverted off the freeway again and finally making a final attempt to get home, I was stuck for another 3 hours!  I didn't get home until 1 am. I was soooo not a happy camper..  can you tell?  Not knowing why we weren't moving was very frustrating, I mean people all over the country drive under these conditions, right?  Being that Clark County only has 6 snow plows and desert rats have no clue as to how to drive in snow, wrecks were abundant.  The Boulder City pass had a blanket of fog as well as snow causing zero visibility.  I didn't believe it until I drove through it.  Still wasn't happy, severe lack of sleep, exhaustion and cranky crabbies will do this too you when your stuck 3 miles away from home.
