Snow? In New Mexico?

Yes. Once again, it has snowed today. It was a spring storm which is much better than a winter storm. Wind blowing mightily, a blizzard actually, when I got up at 6:30. Then, on the way to Curves, blue sky above me. And that's how the day went--furious snow followed by sunshine and steaming pavement followed by tiny pellets of snow racing to the ground as the sun shone bravely on. I went out to split some more wood (when will I ever get a break from the wood stove??), and it was nice on the lee side of the house. Then came the pellets and I said to myself, I'm just staying out here or I'll never get this done. Snowed and sunned about five times over while I was out there for ten minutes.

Southern Utah has 123% of normal snow right now. Northern Utah has 69% of normal. Southern New Mexico has had plenty and more. Let's hear it for the South this year.
