Every time I come back from abroad around the holidays

i don't know quite what to make of it... this is the third time i've come back to the u.s. just before the holidays only to face heavy snow in the high desert... we woke up this morning to 8 inches and i was out shoveling the driveway shortly after 5 and just finished doing it again for the second time today... the snow seems to have tapered off for now, but the f'cast is calling for the possibility of more this evening followed by two more storms coming in from the pacific yet this week...

High desert, Nevada

on the flip side, most of the time i was in kosovo and the entire time i was in macedonia, there was sunshine... prior to my arrival it had been nothing but rain and the rain started right up again after i left... ah, well...
