First Ukrainian Snowfall!

We got our first taste of winter this week! I woke up Tuesday morning to snow falling gently outside my window. I could just barely pull myself away from my window to tell my E.J and Jordan the wonderful news and then I was back to my window again to watch the little clumps of snow pour from the sky. The snow didn't stick to anything but the cars, but it continued through out the morning and onto noon.
Now, this is unseasonably early for snow and so the weather has warmed back up a little. But only a little. We're quite committed to our fall coats and fleece sweaters since the weather has been in the 50's and 60's. Each day is getting a little colder, quietly easing it's way through Fall and onto Winter. Ironically, upon getting on my Facebook account to update my status about the weather I was greeted by several reports a large dust storm blowing through Lubbock. Mike reported that he read an article about the haboob in an Ukrainian Newspaper.

Godspeed
