The other day’s snow was gone by the next afternoon. Then there was supposed to be rain on Thursday, but that didn’t really materialize, as I recall. Friday and Saturday were just beautiful pre–spring days, dry and warm (high 50s) — great weather for getting outside. (Well, Friday was a touch breezy, if you know what I mean, but nothing a New Mexican can’t handle!)
Yesterday around 5 pm it started snowing again, and it snowed all night from the looks of it, and we have 4-6 inches out there and it’s still snowing. The temperature seems to be holding steady just under 32°, so there’s mud underneath the snow, at least in the corral. I believe that means the roads are probably quite slippery again, but we are not going out to test them!
So the rumors of spring are just that: rumors. The juncos are pleased with me, at least, since I am keeping them liberally supplied with seeds and grain.
