Snowfall in Santa Fe?!?!


You would think traveling 1,305.26 miles (to be exact) south would get you away for the blizzards of the Midwest. Well, today we learned that it does in fact SNOW in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

We greeted the great outdoors to find a few New Mexican citizens removing the snow from the sidewalks by using leaf blowers. We had our first snowball fight in Santa Fe and then headed off to Bandelier National Park...just in time for the park to close due to weather.

Needless to say, we treated the snow as if we never have it back home. We had a snowball fight, took some exciting snowfall pictures, and enjoyed the picturesque landscape of a the snow-covered Santa Fe terrain.

We could have grumbled about the snow...but seriously, how often do you get to experience snow from Santa Fe?! As we shopped downtown at the plaza later in the afternoon this is how most conversations went...

Store Owner: Oh, so where is your group from?!
Group: We are from Moorhead, Minnesota...it's right next to Fargo, North Dakota.
Store Owner: (with a smile) So you are used to this weather then right?

It happened every time :)
