The weathermen threatened and promised, but no one took them seriously. Yet they were right! A cold front moved into the area Saturday and it had been a blustery, rainy, freezing (for El Paso) couple of days. The storm finally dumped its snow payload on us yesterday morning. It wasn't sticking at our house, but from the video below, you can see that it was really coming down.
By the time Cam came home from work, there were a few inches on the ground on post (the other side of the mountain from our apartment) and the freeways were a mess. Still nothing was sticking on our side of the mountain ... even by bedtime.
Surprise! Surprise! We awoke to a winter wonderland this morning with about 2 inches on the ground, but the parking lot and sidewalks were mostly clear. Cam got to delay his arrival on post to let the roads clear up and all of the snow should be gone by this afternoon do to the temperatures rising to the mid-40s. At least it was fun while it lasted!
For the record, that's TWO (2) snowfalls we've seen here! Guess the desert really does experience a WIDE range of temperatures...
