The news said the last time it snowed this much in New Orleans was in the mid 1960s.






I've lived in Innsbruck, Austria and in northern Montana, near the border with Canada. I've seen snow snow.


However, New Orleans and snow are not common lovers. They don't get together regularly and become one. The meeting is something very special and infrequent. It's like being married to a political prisoner on another continent. Sure, you might see pictures of it regularly on the TV, and people are always talking about it. But when you finally do get together... well, its very special (if a bit awkward).
