Snow dusts parts of the valley
Some Las Vegas residents woke up to a white Thursday as snow fell in parts of the valley.
Those residing near Fox Hill Park in Summerlin reported waking up to snow Thursday morning, as did those who call the Anthem area home.
The National Weather Service at about 3:15 a.m. shared on Twitter/X that it had received photos from people in the northwest valley that showed a dusting of new snow on grassy surfaces.
Red Rock Canyon shared on social media at about 6:48 a.m. that the area’s Scenic Loop would be closed “until further notice due to ice on the road causing a safety hazard.” The loop reopened around 11 a.m.
