Two days before the snow



Snow Day
We had snow here in south central New Mexico on Thursday. Caused a lot of havoc in El Paso including early dismissal for the Walter Beaumout Army Medical Center, while Mark was trying to finish up all the pre-op work. We here in the basin only recieved 1", but that was enough to delay Friday's start at the Air Base. The snow is mostly all gone now but the pictures remain.
