Las Vegas - Extreme Daily Snowfall for Each Year
Here's a list of yearly records for the heaviest snowfalls and snowiest days in Las Vegas, Nevada. The information easily answers questions such as: How much snow fell in a day during the biggest snowstorm of 2019? When was the last time Las Vegas got more than a trace of snow in a single day?
This page gives the highest daily snowfall of each year in Las Vegas and the date it occurred. If a date has a plus sign beside it that means the same amount of snow also fell on at least one other day earlier in the year.
These records go back to 1931, with a few years missing data. Since then, the most amount of snow to land in one day at Las Vegas is 7.4 inches (18.8 centimetres) on January 31, 1979.
Since 1949 the snowfall extremes were measured at McCarran International Airport. Before then, the weather station was at downtown Las Vegas.
