The snow in the mountains is totally unlike the show I'm familiar with from home. While we don't get much snow at home in Deep South Louisiana, the mountains get plenty of snow, and it's light, fluffy, and dry. The snow I'm familiar with is big flakes of wet heavy snow.
It's interesting, the regional difference of nearly everything. Not better or worse, necessarily, but different. Los Alamos is an interesting study in juxtaposition. While the lab is still the main reason for this place to exist, and they're still doing science over there, it' is easy to tell that this place is basically a converted military town. The housing, for the most part, is military quarters from the '50s or '60s, still in use, but privately owned. So, when I look around, I feel like I've been here, knowing full well that I haven't. The residential areas feel like military housing, which they once were.
The kids are at work, so we're going to go down the mountain to Santa Fe to plunder around for a bit. I don't know how much sight-seeing we'll do, but Belle want to find a Best Buy, and there isn't any such thing on this mesa. So, in a bit, we'll head to Santa Fe and meet the kids back here after work.

Santa Fe has a lot of interesting museums if you want to spend some time doing that. Amazing that nearly all the buildings are required to be or strongly resemble adobe - ever see a convenience store in that material ? You will if you go there.
Have a great time !
Yep, snow is different in the mountains. And NOT my favorite thing either...
