Will t ever get warmer around here? The highs for Las Vegas and area have only been in the 50's th past week or so and the lows have been in the 30's. Talking to many locals who have lived in the Las Vegas Valley, they are saying this is one of the coldest winters on record here. Of course, we are not having the winter like in the folks in the Mid-West, where they are undergoing blizzards and heavy snow and there have also been tornadoes in the South as well. Ahh, when you expect perfect weather all the time, sometimes, you get too spoiled.
