snow

I just wanted to create a quick entry because I had another revelation. I realized that I like the snow! While living in California I always proclaimed that I would hate to live in the cold. I could never understand why people lived in the North East where it snows a lot. However, my only experience with the winter was from living in New Mexcio.

Don't let the geographical location of NM fool you. It's in the southern part of the USA but Albuquerque sits at 5,000 feet (1,516 meters). So, it's freezing in the winter but it's also dry; a so called a "high desert" climate. I remember seeing beautiful blue skies, clearer than anywhere in the world, but below freezing temperatures outside. No snow.

Here in Zurich, on the other hand, it snows. It's cold but it snows! It's beautiful.
