Yeah, it's still snowing here. Piling up pretty good, too. Had the highway out front closed last night going east to Texas. Apparently it is snowing clear down to El Paso and into Mexico. Oh, and they don't have snowplows here, either.
We went into town for groceries this morning and noticed a lot of vehicles don't have snow tires. Huge slush on the road due to no plowing. Natives here are all excited about white Christmas and can be seen building snowmen and having snowball fights everywhere.
There was a guy in a Santa suit with a big old Suburban parked on the side of the road in downtown Roswell. He was standing out in the 6" deep slush and driving snow with a big homemade sign that read "Free Toys."
We noticed this year that Walmart was promoting layaways for Christmas. Last Friday the owner of a small local oil company 30 miles south of here (little place called Artesia) came into town with a wad of cash and paid off a bunch of Walmart layaways for people he doesn't even know.

Great to hear that someone went the extra mile to help others and that the Roswellians were in full force Christmas Spirit! Great stuff.
