Good morning from Las Vegas!
It's Friday, December 19.
Today is the last day at school.
It's not snowing today.
Snow day gives Las Vegans chance for winter fun.
After a night of messy roads and blizzard-like weather,
Las Vegas residents found that lights at the end of the tunnel
with a snow day from school and a chance to enjoy
the rare winter scenery.

Tasogarekinnosuke-san,
Thank you for a Santa Hat.
I love it.
A rare "Snowstorm" last night here in Las Vegas!
So I was wearing a Santa hat all day actually.
Did you see me wearing a Santa hat?
It was a wonderful gift and you sent it to me a very good time.
Thank you & domo arigato.
I still love your article of "Kramer vs Kramer."
Your son will be proud of you.
It is unforgetable and a wonderful story.
I wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!

Hello from Las Vegas!
Dear muffin-san,
No snow in Seattle today?
No wonder it's snowing again here in Las Vegas.
It's 3:30pm on Wednesday here.
I wonder Mr.Vegas51 will come home with an umbrella or not.
I said to him, "Take your umbrella with you."
Mr.Vegas51 said, "Come on. Take a look at the sky. It's O.K."
I was holding his umbrella but he didn't take it to school.
It was our conversation at 6:50am this morning.
It is getting heavier now.
The snow covered all over the front yard and neighbors' roof.
It's cold outside.
No snow in Seattle today!!!
Wet and cold place in Seattle, NO SNOW???
Even weatherman said it would be snowing in Seattle!!!
No wonder we have a lot of snow here in the desert!!!
I heard the news that McCarran Airport is closed in Las Vegas.
The road to Los Angeles(I-15) was closed.
The road to Boulder city and Arizona was closed, too.
Los Angeles is worst.
We are BLOCKED now.
How about tomorrow???
No schools!?
