LAS VEGAS:
Las Vegas isn't a place that expects snow, no less on New Year's Eve. So with meteorologists at the National Weather Service saying there's a chance that flurries might fall on the gambling capital's Strip and the hundreds of thousands of revelers ringing in the New Year, the agency warned visitors: dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes—it's going to be a cold night.
Organizers of the fireworks display say the show will go on, with or without snow. Forecasts in Las Vegas pin the area's chances for New Year's Eve snow at 70 percent along with a 0 degree Celsius (32 degree Fahrenheit) low. But for that to happen, meteorologist Chris Stachelski says there needs to be moisture in the air, and that's far from a certainty for the Strip.
