The last time snow was measured in Las Vegas was in December 2008.

LAS VEGAS (WTHR) – Hoosiers have had quite a wild ride so far this winter but if we thought we had it bad - there's now snow in places where it shouldn't be.

Nevada saw snow Sunday night, waking up to about two inches of snow on the Las Vegas strip Monday morning.

According to the Weather Channel, this is the first time in a decade that Las Vegas has seen a measurable amount of snow.

The last time snow was measured in Las Vegas was in December 2008.

According to reports, the city could get even more snow Wednesday.

If you thought that wasn't crazy enough, Hawaii caught a snow storm last week.

The crazy storm consisted of 191 mph winds gusts and several inches of snow.

Snowfall isn't completely unheard of on the mountainous parts of the state, specifically the Big Island volcanoes but officials say the snow accumulation at 6,200 feet at a state park on Maui could be the lowest-elevation snowfall ever recorded in the state.

The mayor even closed the beaches and state parks due to the extreme weather.

In anticipation of extreme weather conditions, the County of Hawaii is closing ALL beach parks to public access from Saturday midnight until further notice. ALL State parks will be closing 10:00 a.m. Sunday, and all campers must leave by then. Pls watch for Civil Defense updates.
