Three inches of snow were reported in some areas of Las Vegas. Residents, who rarely see snow, were photographed building snowmen and sledding. Many took to social media, posting pictures and videos of the snow in surprise and delight.

The snow dusted the city’s famous strip, drawing crowds out of the casinos to take photos, and a snowman was built underneath the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. The strip’s palm trees received an unfamiliar snowy coating.
