Winter's Last Hurrah???

Gosh, darn it! It's snowing outside like a down pillow exploded!

Earlier today it was sunny and beautiful. Feeling like it was not yet Spring, but far from being winter.

And now this:

"Winter Storm Warning in effect through Thursday along the Central Mountain chain and over the northeast and east Central Plains of New Mexico... Snow...heavy at times...will continue overnight across the Sangre de Cristo...Sandia and Manzano Mountains...and over much of eastern New Mexico north and west of a line from Corona to Fort Sumner to Tucumcari. Snowfall rates of 1 or 2 inches per hour will be common creating low visibilities and difficult driving conditions. Up to a foot of snow may fall by morning in some areas...mainly along the east slopes of the mountains and along I 40 in east central New Mexico. Snow will develop southward across Lincoln County into the south central mountains overnight with several inches likely there through Thursday morning."

Yep, we are located along the central mountain chain. And more specifically we call home the Sandia and Manzano mountains. And we are also on the eastern edge of those mountains.

It started snowing about 8:30pm last night, and by 12am, we already had 9" of snowfall. And ya know what? It's STILL falling hard!

Gosh I hope this blizzardy snow storm is winter's last hurrah! It's as if Old Man Winter is being stingy and selfish and won't allow the beautiful Spring Fairies to take over yet.

Looking out onto one of our upstairs balconies.
9" and still the snow is still falling
