Default It Snowed In Iraq

My wife called me from Iraq Today to tell me it was snowing. She is from Iowa so she does know what real snow is to. Thought I would clear that up LOL. ITs 70 degree here. What is the world doing these days.

I read an article about that yesterday. Apparently, it was the first time it has snowed in Baghdad in recorded history. I guess we are having a lot of weather "firsts" this year...

I thought this was going to be a joke about Bush. Hell freezing over or something like that.

Wow that's pretty wild. Next to the Sahara region that's probably the last place I'd think it would snow.

Yeah, my buddy emailed me and said it was snowing in Al Asad as well. Never saw snow over there, but it did get pretty cold. Afghanistan is a different story, it snowed like a madman in them mountains.
