Is Las Vegas ready for New Year’s Eve snow?

With a chance of snow in the forecast for New Year’s Eve, local and state government agencies are counting their snowplows and stockpiling deicing salt to make sure Las Vegas Valley roads stay clear and driveable.

The National Weather Service on Sunday issued a winter storm watch for tonight until early New Year’s Day, predicting snow for elevations above 2,000 feet. On Monday morning, the weather service predicted the chance of snow at 80 percent for Wednesday afternoon and evening; by Monday evening that estimate dropped to a 70 percent chance.
