Storm brings snow to mountains, rain and wind to the valley

A series of winter storms has delivered a rare mix of heavy mountain snow and steady rain across the Las Vegas Valley, including North Las Vegas neighborhoods. Mountain areas picked up impressive snowfall totals, while the valley saw light to moderate rainfall, gusty winds and cooler temperatures in the low 50s. The unsettled pattern is expected to gradually ease, but slick roads, scattered debris and lingering breezes may still impact local travel. Residents are encouraged to give themselves extra time on the roads, check conditions before heading toward higher elevations and secure outdoor items that could blow loose in strong gusts.
