Snowing AND Blowing~Possible 12"!!!

Well I got started early doing some detail work on the chicken coop.....or rather, the ranch project that never ends(insert rolling eyes here).
And I'm very glad I did because just as I was finishing up, the first snowflakes drifted down on me.

And check out our local weather report. And by the way, our house is just a bit higher than 7,000 ft. I expect that we'll probably get between 7-10" by tomorrow evening.

Today
Partly cloudy. Scattered rain and snow showers in the morning...then numerous snow showers in the afternoon. Snow accumulation 1 or 2 inches. Highs in the 30s to upper 40s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph shifting to the west 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon.

Tonight
Snow showers. Areas of blowing snow after midnight. Snow accumulation 5 to 7 inches...except 7 to 11 inches above 7500 feet. Colder. Lows 10 to 25. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph.

Saturday
Partly cloudy with isolated snow showers. Total snow accumulation 5 to 8 inches...except as much as 8 to 12 inches above 7500 feet. Highs in the 20s to upper 30s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.


Some photos I took from my daughter's bedroom. It's hard to see, but I finally completed covering the entire coop with hawk/bird netting.(Click for a larger view)
