MOSUL, Iraq - It was the very last thing Lt. Walter Hicks expected to encounter in Iraq: Snow.

It came down - heavily at times - across northern Iraq Sunday, mixed with freezing rain so that Hicks and the other soldiers on his convoy north of the city froze their you-know-whats off.

"When we left Mosul it was just like when it snows back at Lewis, all drizzly and mixed with rain," Hicks said. "But as we drove farther north, it kept getting snowier and snowier."
