It has been snowing since 4 am, and it’s still snowing, and we have at least 10 more inches of the white stuff. Today it was as if we were inside the snow cloud the entire time; hardly enough visibility to see the hill to the south of our house. Certainly the mountains are out there, but you wouldn’t know it if today was your first day here!
Our forecast for today had been snow showers. Hmm... that was optimistic. I know I have been blathering on about the snow forever, but this winter is quite different from my previous four in New Mexico. Area friends who have been here for plural decades have told us before about “the old days,” when the snows were frequent and plentiful. Well, guess what: we are getting to experience “the old days!”
It bodes well for the spring plants, but meanwhile our unpaved roads have been severely stressed and driving is rather stressful too. It’s like an actual winter!
