Clark County shared some photos of the city covered in snow on the 44-year anniversary of a major 24-hour storm on January 30 and 31, 1979.
During that storm, ten inches of snow were reported at Spring Moutain Ranch, while what was known back then as McCarran Airport saw 7.8 inches, causing it to close down.
