Weird weather is weird. Washington state was freaking out because of the early snow on Thanksgiving when were were there last. They said it was a snowstorm but to me it looked like it was snowing. My dad said it had snowed in downtown Las Vegas a few years back. We've had hail stones over here which is totally ridiculous. Must be the end of days. Run doggies run!
