A Dry Winter, eh?

I really do not know where all those crazy people got the idea that it was going to be a dry winter this year.
And how about that silly man from California, in the Albuquerque Home Depot who laughed at John and Jeremiah for buying snow shovels?

It started snowing and blowing last night. I think this is probably the 5th or 6th snowfall we've had so far this season.
Last night it started with rain followed by frozen rain and then the snow came down.
It was nasty stuff and plastered everything that the wind blew it into. At least all the white stuff was beautiful to wake up to in the morning.

Here are some photos I took from upstairs right after I woke up.

It snowed off and on all day long. The wet blowing snow kept plastering our sattelite dish on the roof and Jackson volunteered to keep it clear of snow and ice, so we could watch TV in front of the cozy fireplace.
The wind was blowing with gusts of 45 mph. It made the snow and ice particles into weapons when hitting our faces.
