We are currently about 150 miles west of Las Cruces NM on I 10. It is about 46 degrees and sunny right now, a far cry from yesterday. In spite of watching the weather carefully and making plans accordingly, we drove through blowing snow yesterday from about 50 miles southwest of Wichita Falls TX to where we joined I 20 at Sweetwater TX. Not great driving. Plus it was about 20 degrees last night in Van Horn TX where we stayed.
So we are happy to see the sun today although a little warmer would be nice. We will be in Benson AZ tonight and arrive in Mesa tomorrow night.
I see that the Dallas / Ft Worth area and east, plus the Wichita Falls area, is again receiving snow today, referred to by the weather reporters as a "snow event". There was no really great way to do this trip this year. Even going to Florida would have been fraught with problems!
Here is a photo of our car yesterday in Roby TX at a fuel stop. This photo does not do the state of our car justice. It is coated in mud and road salt. It and the RV had little icycles on the wheel bolts.
