Thanks, guys.

Up here, when I watch football and baseball games that are being
broadcast from a southern US city, the one thing that never ceases to
catch my attention is how the people in the stands are just wearing
light windbreakers and autumn jackets in January and February, and how
much shorter the shadows are (meaning the Sun is higher in the sky
there).

I would have never expected there to be snow on the US/Mexico border,
but I fully expect that the mountain areas would have plenty of snow,
even in Mexico (cuz the warm moist air gains altitude as it gets pushed
over the mountains).

I learn something every day. But, not everything I learn is worth
knowing.


For example, elpaso is at least 3500 feet high. When I was down that way,
got some snow every year. The peaks around elpaso are easily 4000 feet. 3/4
mile high city.
