Yes, that is snow. In the desert. On my way to a live location this morning for team weather coverage. I can't imagine what I'm going to see, but you can see it with me this morning.

Thunder and lightning was associated with some storms around the valley with a tree being struck by lightning at the Las Vegas Country Club where a house also caught fire.
The fire was reported around 2:50 p.m. in the 1100 block of Pinehurst Drive. Firefighters determined the cause of the fire was a lightning strike to a tree adjacent to the building and then spreading to the wood shake shingle roof.
The fire was contained to the one home with damages estimated at $200,000.
No occupants were home at the time but firefighters rescued two cats. There was a minor eye injury to a firefighter.
