The last time it was this warm on a Feb. 9 in Las Vegas, poodle skirts were all the rage and the valley had a population of less than 25,000.
Valley temperatures reached a high of 78 degrees today, beating the previous record of 77 degrees on Feb. 9, 1951, according to the National Weather Service.
