OT: It's snowing in EL Paso!

[nick681]

We are really having some crazy weather here! The snow is coming down in big, wet, fat flakes. And here I thought living on the Mexican border I wouldn't need am Arctic White Busse, I guess I was wrong


Front of the House

Out the Back Door

The Jeep

People here are ill prepared for rain much less snow. I have been hearing sirens since the snow started. All the folks in their little lowered cars will be sucking. That chromed out fart-can exhaust pipe and triple-decker rear wing won't help you

Thankfully I just bought the wife a new Volvo SUV.

I remember when I was a kid. Dad was stationed there for the Sergeants Majors Academy. I walked to school it was 85......2 hours later they were calling off school due to a excessive amount of snow.....got like 4 inches in 4 hours!! That walked sucked because I went to school in a tee shirt and shorts!!!

While stationed there 2 times for a total of 6 years, it snowed twice and everything shutdown...it was pretty cool.

Was last year the year it snowed insanely during the thanksgiving holidays? I was visiting family in El Paso and woke up to my window having been frozen over.

Texas weather... If you don't like it, wait a minute, it will change.

It's always sunny in Sunnyvale, surprisingly enough. The one thing I miss about central Texas is "wrath of God" style torrential downpours. Life needs a LITTLE variation.

That happened in Tampa when I was there for college. We woke up one morning to about as much snow as in Nick's pics above, they had to shut down the bridges and highways till the sun melted it by mid-morning.

I lived in Los Angeles County for the first 44 years of my life. In all that time it snowed twice, once the year I was born (1949) and once the year I turned 40 (1989). Here in Colorado Springs you can get a touch of snow almost any month of the year although it is generally mild and sunny. It generally does snow on Pikes Peak overlooking the city even in July.

It generally does snow on Pikes Peak overlooking the city even in July.

When I was in high school, we would climb the Peak on the 3rd of July so we could watch the Race the next day. It snowed more often than not.

Send some snow to Phoenix!!!

So much for global warming!

I love when it snows here, nobody knows what to do. The fact that I can get to work on time always earns be brownie points.
