We've spent the last few days with a fevered escalation on the news. The weather man cancelled his trip to Hawaii until October because this HUGE storm was about to move in and in his words, "When you're the weatherman, and you have weather, you can't go on vacation." Yeah, good luck with that one.
So, with much excitement We've spent the last 24 hours preparing for this big storm. The worst case scenario has 2 feet falling right on top of us. Don't tell my kids but the best cast scenario has only 1" of fall predicted. Wait... we're already past four. Maybe it wouldn't matter if he did go on vacation. One website has the storm plowing through in 12 hours. Another has the storm staying longer than 48 hours. Some say it will be rain in Silver City. Some have it snowing down into northern Mexico and everything inbetween.
I'm just hoping that by the end of this work day there will be more than six inches still on the ground at home so that we can build a snowman and if the kids aren't frozen when that's done, a snow fort.
Now, to be honest. When I said 2 feet was the "worst" case scenario. I should confess. I honestly think that that would be the best case, and less than 6 inches would be the worst.
Let's hope that the weatherman staying in New Mexico will convince the weather gods that we are serious about our weather, and we want lots of it.

All of the new details are in the next post. Lots of snow.
Wow, seeing you and Kris's post makes me jealous! In the 7 years we lived in Silver the deepest snowfall I remember was the 8 inches we got on election day 2000 that caused New Mexico to go to Gore instead of Bush. Southern NM is Republican, the storm only hit the southern half of the state, and Gore won by roughly 500 votes...
