Snow!

Yes, kiddo's, we have snow in El Paso! Granted, it's about 3 inches of snow, but still...it's snow! I woke up this morning to snow on the ground and immediately turned on the news because I just had to see what they were saying. Apparently, in El Paso, 3 inches of snow is equal to severe weather and they had all of these listings of delays and closings. And they weren't just schools! A lot of government offices were opening late and they closed all major highways to New Mexico except for one. They even closed Ft Bliss! Yes, the Army post closed down today which is the definition of irony to me. Nevermind the fact that my husband is in the field in New Mexico, in the middle of the desert, covered in snow...but sure, shut down the base! So, I posted a status on Facebook to share with everyone back home how silly it is here and it made me laugh even more! The news lady was broadcasting outside and said, "It's so cold you can barely talk or think!" I'll give her some credit, it is 9 degrees here, but that's never stopped me from thinking or talking. She also had a bottle of water that she kept showing the camera was freezing. Well of course it's freezing...you're standing outside in below freezing temps! That's 5th grade science, not news. I'll share a few pictures with you:

This is a picture of the snow from my bedroom window. There's still blades of grass sticking through the snow, so clearly there's not a lot out there!

And here's a picture of the "snow covered" roads that are causing everyone to freak out! Hehe! Now, I can understand if they're freaking out over the temperature. 9 degrees is frickin cold no matter where you're living! Anyway, maybe this post/pictures gave everyone back home in Indiana a good chuckle! For all of my friends/family/followers out there in the midwest, stay safe!!
