Desert Snow

Well, it snowed buckets in Albuquerque and we basically were snowed in for two days. Luckily, Suzanne was on vacation from school and I work from home so we didn’t strictly need to venture out. But it is interesting how different places deal with a snow crisis. In Virginia, things shut down but the roads are generally open. Personally, I think that the DC area gets enough snow that they should be better prepared than they are — but I think people there like doing the store rush for milk, beer and toilet paper.

In Albuquerque, everything is open (on a 2 hour delay) but the interstate is closed… Usually, it snows here in the morning and melts — this was a BIG storm it took two days to melt.

In Utah, where I grew up, nothing closes and the roads are plowed quickly. I could easily be a snow snob — but my husband got hit by a car sliding in the ice — so snow is something to be reckoned with in New Mexico.

Meanwhile, in VA, it is 70 degrees — did I bring the snow with me?
