After living in Texas for several years, moving to Omaha was definitely a big change for myself and the family. This year is the first white Christmas we had and I will definitely say that it is one which we will never forget. The shear amount of snow we have gotten over the last few days has been staggering. When I first met the locals here and they spoke about winter not being very bad, it calmed my nerves a bit. Winters are supposed to be light in this region, but now I’m seeing a different picture. Some of our friends around town have reported that they now have six foot snow drifts blocking the entrance of their home and the city had to close down the interstate since snow plows couldn’t keep up with the amount of snow that was piling up. Fortunately the snow has stopped and the roads are clearing up. Now we’re all looking forward to warmer weather and counting down the days until spring.
Wow… from Texas to Nebraska… we moved from Austin to Chicago 2 years ago.
Winter here was brutal in December…. but I was in South America for vacations..
