Snow in NM

A ton of weather - they even closed UNM in Albuquerque? Wow! That brings back fond memories of the winter of 1977/1978, when an ice glaze coated the streets of Albuquerque, paralyzing the town, and forcing my college dorm roommate at UNM, Wilbur W., to drive his VW Bug on the sidewalks just to get around!

And another memory, of travelling to NM through a storm for Christmas, 1993, with my dog Stella, and how ice glazed Interstate-40 over around Grants, and how, as an idiot Californian, I nevertheless persevered through a wilderness of jackknifed tractor-trailer rigs (no one told me they closed the freeway) until I reached Albuquerque, late, but unscathed.

Wish I was there now!
