White Christmas This Year In El Paso?

I guess we will see if this snow sticks around or not for the actual Christmas day, but everyone seem to have a smile on their face today seeing the snow falling:

A wintry blast struck the Borderland Wednesday dropping snow and freezing rain.Over just a few short hours, the El Paso turned into a winter wonderland, just two days before Christmas.While welcomed, the chore of driving in the powder became too much for some without the proper equipment.”Oh it’s great, you’ve got to have a little bit of snow for Christmas right?” said Ray Beeman, as he helped a fellow motorist replace her windshield wipers.For those in town for the holidays, it was a welcomed treat.”I was born and raised in El Paso, but I live in Dallas,” said Elizabeth Tenorio. “It’s great to be home for one thing, and have this weather because it’s what I grew up with.”  [KFOX]

This is the third major winter storm system to hit El Paso this year with the first one hitting in October, the next one in November, and now this.
