This is actually good news for Las Vegas. We get most of our drinking water from Lake Mead, who gets most of it's water from snow melt from the Rockies. If the Rockies get a lot of snow, like last year, we could see Lake Mead rise another 30-40 feet next year and be pretty close to normal. We may not need to spend billions on piping water from Northern Nevada or building a third intake pipe at the Lake.
Let the snow begin
