Yes, out here the SL gets a full 12 months of use... although they are predicting snow this coming week. Won't be a blizzard but nice to see once in while as long as it melts by noon time.

Snow In Las Vegas

Well I said they expected snow but not as much as was dumped here a few days ago. Not really bad but certainly added to the scenery at Red Rock Canyon. Here is the one documenting the SL in an off-road position...

I was lucky... the latest snow band missed us here in Summerlin but the mountains got a nice covering. The only snow I drove in was a short patch when I pulled off the road to shoot a pic or two... which is fine with me...:-)

About 27 degrees when I shot the pics. Altitude is about 2900 feet.

I have seen the reports on your weather situation... you need a 4 wheel drive plug-in for your SL. We have had a little snow but it melts on the roadways so no problem other than a dirty car. Hang in there, the day are getting longer and Spring is coming... :-)

Thanks khaz3al... I enjoy making them, especially when they include a MB's....:-)

Actually this is not an HDR but has the look of some HDR work. This is a single image with some Topaz adjustments and then tweaked with some Photoshop tools. It is amazing what can be done these days with digital images and graphic software.
