Whether The Weather

Whether the weather be cold
Whether the weather be hot
Whether the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not

In a nutshell, we've been putting up with whatever the heavens have been throwing at us - unforgivingly hot sun, strong winds, lighting, rain, dry air, desert storms. And even snow. When we least expected it. Crossing into Nevada, we thought that we had escaped the throes of Death Valley back in California and were heading into what seemed like gloriously good and sunny weather. But we seemed to be driving into a blank blurry white wall in the distance - and we were wondering why the clouds in Nevada were so big that they stretched from the sky to the ground. And then little white bits started flying into our windscreen.

That white blurry wall? That's a huge curtain of snow.

Driving into Las Vegas through snowfall.

Being warmblooded tropical creatures, it took us some time to realise that it was snow. Snow in Las Vegas? Uh huh. Wow. It turned out that Las Vegas had been hit by a cold front which dumped snow in the area and was moving eastwards... to dump more snow on where we were heading!! Argh. Evil cold thing was laying snow in our path! Needless to say, we spent the next couple of days freezing in Sin City.

Over the past week, this freak cold front has covered Denver in snow, leading to some of the highways being closed. Much as I like being warm and toasty, I'm glad we missed out on the 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius) heatwave in Los Angeles, where we were just 2 to 3 weeks ago.

Whatever the weather, we're still having a good time. And not missing the humid Singapore weather too much yet.
