Beware of what you ask for...
That storm is kicking boo-tay. I am still frozen. Those wishing it would get wintry may soon get their wish.
It was a high of 40 at my house Christmas day eve with wind blowing at 20mph gusting to 40. The next day was worse. Six miles from my house -no wind but chilly. I drive back into the foothills and its bending trees all over.
Today it finally calmed down but we are about 7-10 degrees under our normal and have been for a few weeks. We had snow in the mountains above my place a week ago. Even my dogs don't want to go out for more than a quick trip around the block.
We just ordered 25 tons of flagstone from a quarry in New Mexico. We were trying to race the shutdown that ice and snow bring to operations there. This morning, my friend in Albuquerque sent me a picture of his yard with a foot of snow on it. I am thinking we won't see our flagstone for a month or more.
Right now everyone is cuddled with mom in bed... I am heading that way soon.
Get your cameras charged up so you can share the "fun."
