SOUTHWESTERN WINTER STORM WATCH '07

  
Friday afternoon as we drove through New Mexico, we tried to out run the storm. As you can see from the picture, we didn't get too far ahead of it. The temperatures started dropping and the winds picked up. We decided to spend the night in Anthony, Texas at the border of Texas and New Mexico.
  
Sarting out Saturday we could see that during the night the storm had indeed caught up with us and moved on ahead leaving some snow in it's wake. I never thought that Texas would get any snow, especially with how hot and humid it normally is. But snow it got and it was interesting to hear the truckers on the CB talking about icy roads and be very cautious. Boy, if only they had the experience we had a couple of weeks ago in Wyoming! Both Craig and I said we would rather they be careful than stupid driving an 80,000 pound rig.
  
Craig wanted me to put this picture in to show you what Texas ski slopes look like. As we drove into San Antonio for the night the snow disappeared from the landscape and we had a clear ride into Pharr Sunday morning. I am happy to report that we called this evening and the trailer is loaded and ready for us to pick up. We will be heading out early Tuesday morning on our way to Edmonton, Canada.
