A chill moved across Las Vegas late Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing lower temperatures and strong winds to the valley.

Five inches of snow fell Tuesday night on Mount Charleston, and trace amounts of rain were recorded at McCarran International Airport.

The National Weather Service said Wednesday's high was 59 degrees, which fell short of the record low high of 56 degrees set in 1998.

"This is definitely not your typical April day," said Barry Pierce, weather service meteorologist.

The last time snow fell in Las Vegas in April was on April 4,1958, making Wednesday's activity the latest snow sighting recorded to date.
