Funny enough, on my way to this very same place back in May 2016, there was snow alongside the roadways.

 Last week I visited a couple of El Paso friends, staying overnight at their place. 

What the hey?! In the morning, it snowed.

Something I have tried to avoid since that day on a marshrutka between Rustavi and Tbilisi in Caucasus Georgia.
