ABQ will shut down for one or two inches of snow. We haven't had good snow in eight or nine years, so I think the schools are eager to use their snow days any chance they get. Gotta love it.

Nope, we're snow scaredy-cats. I've driven through Amarillo in the winter, back and forth to Fort Worth. On the way back one time about eight years ago, had to drive at 15-20 mph from Amarillo to ABQ because there was so much snow. The Sandia and Manzano mountains do a great job of shielding us from incoming snow from the east. Sometimes they'll shut down the Tijeras canyon on the other side of the mountain because it gets a lot of snow, but we don't get much in town.
