I always complain about snow and how I hate it, but there is nothing more beautiful than unexpected snowfall in a place where you wouldn’t expect it. Beautiful. And peaceful. Love it.

I hate snow, but when I went out and saw that this morning, I was thrilled, as was everyone else on base.

It was quite beautiful.

I wish the swirling flakes had come out in the pictures; it only captured the bigger flakes.

Very glad you got to see such a beautiful site. After the snow comes the Spring. May it be a good one for Iraq and the United States! God bless!

Maybe these students were onto something!

FEBRUARY 9, 2007--Delta Sigma Phi’s frosty rendition of the hanging gardens of Babylon took first place in the highly competitive fraternity division of Michigan Tech’s Winter Carnival snow statue contest, sponsored by Blue Key Honor Fraternity.

The huge diorama, “Euphrates Frozen in Time Shows Babylon in Its Prime,” is located in front of the their house, 1421 Woodland Road, by Wadsworth Hall. It reflects this year’s theme, “Ancient Worlds Come to Play in Snowy Drifts of Modern Day.”

The elaborate sculptures included griffins with wings molded of clear ice, a fountain, the river Euphrates, a four-tiered backdrop replete with arches, and yards and yards of ice chains.

Hey it is warmer in Cleveland Ohio than it is in Bagdad today.

Hows that for Global Warming.
