Balloon Update

Few balloons flew Tuesday and all events were cancelled this morning as Albuquerque had the rainiest day in nearly a year — a lousy quarter of an inch yesterday, but heavier early today. And probably an inch-and-a-half up here at 6,000 feet.

Another front with strong winds and much colder temperatures is on its way, but the sun is shining now and clouds are few. Temp in just mid-50s though.

If my memory is correct, the weather is almost always unsettled during Balloon Fiesta week. Perhaps the event should be held a week or two earlier. Just sayin’.
