Different countries, different climates
We were having a major windstorm where I live the other day. Then it turned to rain. About the same time I got an email from my sister, who is serving in Iraq, defending our wonderful country.
She told me at the same time they were having one of the worst sandstorms they have ever had over there. She said when we have white-outs over here when it is snowing, when the wind is blowing sand over there you can’t see five feet over there either. I found that quite interesting because if it is snowing hard like that here you can still walk down to the mailbox to get the mail, over there, with the wind blowing the sand so hard you can’t walk ten feet because the sand blowing on you hurts so badly.
So hopefully they don’t have very many sandstorms over there, as opposed to all of the rainstorms we have over here. It seems that where I live now, it is almost 60 degrees every day, it seems like over there the average is 110 degrees. Like I said, different countries, different climates. It is a strange world we live in!
