Snow Is Here, Christmas Just Around the Corner

So, the snow WAS here. 99% of it has melted now, but we're assured that more is on the way. Either way, Christmas is on the way. Decorations are plentiful, and more find their way in the mail to us and on our walls every day. We can't be at home with our friends and loved ones there, but there's no doubt that we're loved.







The snow you'll see in the next few photos was short-lived, but the forecast calls for more tonight. It won't likely stay long either, with our average temperatures in the mid-30's. Our local forecaster, SSG Rusty Edmonson, claims that the weather will be turning MUCH colder after the turn of the year.





Even with the colder temperatures and the challenge that presents to receiving materials and moving our soldiers around the battlefield, the work goes on. Our departure is nearing, but we'll clearly have a part in continued operations here until JUST before that day arrives. The need for the work we do is soon to increase exponentially with the new troop surge.
