Exactly nine years ago today, El Paso was covered in snow. Does any city look better than El Choco with snow on the mountains? Thanks to Weather Watch Ben Avalos for sending in this beautiful photo and snow reminder. Where is the snow this year? Well, the mountains of New Mexico are in good shape, but here we miss the white stuff. We don't have a chance for the next nine days, but February is coming with great chances for winter storms.
