I’m not usually a weather wimp — well, except for lightning — but we just had a sustained gust of wind here at Casa NewMexiKen that got my attention. I mean it was almost like having the Big Bad Wolf out there huffing and puffing. They’re forecasting gusts to 50, but I have to think this particular gust saw that and raised it 10 or 20.
An inch or snow fell in the last hour. More overnight.
I woke up to some nasty gusts of wind here in EP, too, and we saw quite a bit of rain yesterday (not cold enough for snow).
The San Juan Mountains got another 30 inches of snow and they’re already 50% or more above normal. And 100 mph gusts.
Bueno, el Rio Colorado nesecita mucha agua.
¡Muy bueno! The San Juans feed both watersheds — the Colorado River and the Rio Grande.
