I would listen to Don, Dave! One time in mid fall, October I flew into
ABQ, and the Sandias were totally covered in a nice? blanket of snow! I
suffered the same culture shock as Rael did. We had flown from Northern
Ontario, a radar base, part of the old PineTree early warning chain,
where we had to get out and get the ice off the wings of a Dakota DC 3,
in order to get of the ground, and then landed there and saw all that
snow....pilot said, laughing, I think it came with us, guys!
Hang onto your snow shovels and chains, David....I was hitch hiking by
air to LA, and I must say when we flew into George AFB it was a whole
heck of a lot nicer! ! Cheers, old Doug in BC
