One of the great benefits to living in Amarillo is that when it snows, it rarely lasts for more than three days. That way you get your opportunity for some snow and winter weather -- if that's what floats your boat -- and then it goes away.
One healthy snowfall a year is plenty. Actaully, I could probably live well enough without any snowfall at all. I don't really need four seasons: Three is OK; two's nice; one is near impossible here. Even when I lived in Hawai'i, the second season -- what we'd call winter, called for us to hose down the sidewalk every couple of days unless it rained in the morning. If that happened, we'd just have to sweep the water into the gutter.
So now we're waiting for the temperature to rise up high enough to melt the snow before it gets too dirty. Ick. Dirty snow or dirty slush makes for really, really dirty cars and you'd have to wait for a bit until you can wash the car. Just think: In just a little while it'll be spring and all of this will have faded to become just a memory.
