I stood there beside myself, thinking hard about the weather...
The weather is something you talk about when you've got nothing important to say. The weather is the ever so trivial chat that you can always have with a person. Well, weather can also make or break a trip (usually more breaking than making) but it Ciudad Juarez you needn't worry about such a trivial thing, because even if it does behave regalarly in a certain way, it can be unpredictable as hell.
So Juarez being a desert, has a very hot temperature during the summer to the point that our record high was on 1994(june) and it was of 45.5 °C. So in the winter we usually get cold temperatures, not so extreme but they are under 0 °C, our coldest temperature registered was way back on November 1962, -22.2 °C.
As I said before, our weather is usually unpredictable, we have oir rain season and our windy season but they appear at any point of the year.
Just before I close this chapter about the weather I should tell you that you needn't worry about natural disasters in here (except floods probably) because we're away from the ocean, and also there's no way an earthquake or tornado can occur in here, we're surrounded by mountains. That's why in Mexico there's a phrase that says "a mi me hace lo que el viento a Juarez" or in english "it does to me what the wind does to Juarez" - nothing!
Finally I'll just post some pictures of the last time it snowed here in Juarez, and that was just in early january of this year. Of course there is also a picture I like, because it shows what a friend of mine did with the snow due to the fact we rarely get any snow here. Enjoy!

Both of the times I've gone to Parador Tomochi was for breakfast and I can honestly say it was quite good. I'm not sure if they still have it, but back then they used to have a small thing in the middle of the tables where it said what recipe was originated in which city of the Chihuahua state.
The breakfast usually is eggs prepared in different ways, but is all quite good don't be afraid to try anything. There is also menudo, which is quite traditional to eat on sundays. And of course there is also Cafe de Olla, but that is for you to try ;)
As for dinner or lunch, most of the menu is meat, because we have quite a lot of cattle here in Chihuahua. Also there is quite a variety of tequilas.
The full menu is available on their webpage, it is in spanish though. hehe
