Not in the Midwest sense, with schools being canceled, but today it snowed in Mosul, Iraq. Imagine my confusion when I opened my CHU door to walk to the shower this morning and saw snow. I thought I woke up in the twilight zone. Once I got to work we were like kids; laughing, joking, smiling, and taking pictures in the snow. It was like seeing snow for the first time again. How many people can experience snow for the first time, twice?
Here are some of the photos:

This is what I woke up to. Click the picture to see the snowflakes.
The snow came down hard. The left picture is of the detention facility and the right picture is my work facility.
It was beginning to stick in the little bit of grass I could find.
Every good set of war pictures need the perspective from the bunker .
As proof these photographs were taken in Iraq; a stop sign with Arabic and a mosque on post (not used any more) in the "snow storm".
I few months ago my goal was to get some great dust storm pictures. As of today, I have yet to see a dust storm. The snow is following me.

Hey Ben,
Is this unusual? It's kind of funny
here at home we have had no snow and
there you get snow. I bet you thought you were dreaming.
You got all our snow. I'm actually jealous of Iraq.
Snow in Iraq! OK time to come home. Michigan tourism association is going to petition the Pentagon to send you back home. We need you here.
Uh oh. Looks like my mom's going all Cindy Sheehan like Katie! ;)
