See the white bits around Mysterium? Nooo, those aren’t gnats (hopefully they froze). They’re itty bitty flakes of snow.
It wasn’t much to wet the soil (or the horses), but that night, lower Disappointment Valley got rain, and the tops of some landforms in Spring Creek Basin (Filly Peak, Flat Top, Round Top, Brumley Point) got snow. The eastern ridges definitely got snow. From a little higher than mid-valley comes a report of a couple of inches of snow, and at Groundhog Reservoir (southeast of Spring Creek Basin and 1,000 or so feet higher), a report of about 3 inches of snow. A nice little spring snowfall.

TJ, hurray for all moisture!! Mysterium certainly has lightened up in color
I was going to say the same thing re: Mysterium…I didn’t remember her being so ‘light’. Beautiful photo! So glad you got some moisture and will pray for a little more for vegetation and water for summer.
So thankful you got moisture, weatherman says we have a little coming our way this week. Prayers, praying, praying it happens!
Some of Mysterium’s lighter appearance may be her winter coat … and/or the cloudy light. She’s a dun, so she won’t get lighter with age like the greys. But from a distance, she’s as easy to spot as the greys!
Yes, we’re very thankful for the moisture. Is it greedy to wish for more? š Baileytan, I hope you get some rain, too!
