Exactly nine years ago today, El Paso was blanketed in snow. Does any city look better than El Chuco with snow on the mountains? Thanks to Weather Watch Ben Avalos for sending this beautiful picture and reminder of snow. Where’s the snow this year? Well, the mountains of New Mexico are doing well, but down here we are missing the white stuff. We have no chance over the next 9 days, but February is coming bringing great chances for winter storms.
