In December 2006, Albuquerque (heck, most of New Mexico) experienced a heavier snowfall and colder temperatures than most local people could remember ever occurring. It was a beautiful and exciting mess. Here are just a few photos from the experience:
Sunset on the Saturday after the big snow. The Sandia mountains were an unbelievable shade of pink for about 5 minutes. I took this photo from our margarita deck. In the foreground are the snow-covered arroyo (an awesome word that means stream, but here in ABQ it really means storm drainage ditch), and the backside of our next door neighbor, Sangre de Cristo Plaza - home of such fine establishments as Mountain Eagle Karate and Upper Cuts hair salon.
Another sunset view, looking west this time.
Joe on the margarita deck, looking none too sure about the cold white stuff.
Good times.
