The Big Snow

Ray, one of our forecasters and a pretty darn good photog, took pictures of the big snow from around his house in south Elko. You can see them at


Ray, it turns out, grew up in New Jersey. I said to him, "Hey, my wife lived in New Jersey when we met. Her brother still lives there."

He said, "Oh, yeah? Where?"

I said, "Oh, around Trenton."

He said, "Oh, yeah. Where around Trenton?"

I said, "Ewing."

He said, paraphrasing, "[No way!] Where in Ewing?"

I looked up their address on the web and Ray said nothing, but scrolled the picture of Jerry's house over two blocks and highlighted his parent's house.

"THAT'S where I grew up."

Two blocks from Jerry and Lauren. Small world.

No. It was on the 8th, and then all melted.

That's cool about your coworker. It truly is a small small world. I hate snow.

Do all government weather offices look exactly the same? You could pick up your office in elko, parking lot included, swap it with the one in Morristown and no one would notice.

The small offices have the same pattern. Just like the small LDS church buildings. The Morristown chapel and the Hickory, NC are twins. My keys even worked inside. Scary.
