Snow, s’no problem

31 01 2025

Yesterday (of course) was a much different weather story in Spring Creek Basin: Sunshine and a high temp probably in the 40s. I didn’t venture into the basin’s interior but drove up alongside the southwest boundary to see the snow on the interior buttes and ridges and peaks and points. The contrast between snow there and still-brown ground down-valley was kinda crazy.

Above, Bia pauses her grazing while Dundee grazes in the background.

And the focus on Dundee beyond Bia. Part of Spring Creek canyon is still visible in the background, and the big-flake snow was just starting to stick. Not long after this, visibility dropped to just our own little circle of the world. The horses were never very bothered by either the wind or the snow blowing on the wind. They continued their grazing up the slight hill and across the road, at which point I took the road back to my buggy and headed for shelter. πŸ™‚

Your snow was beautiful, TJ! Love those fat flakes. And Bia and Dundee look pretty in all the flurries. I’m glad you got some decent snow out there!

That wind really did send big, fat flakes for a while there! It was awesome while it lasted. πŸ™‚ We sure needed that little infusion. … Now, more, please!?

Oh, yes, always grateful for the moisture! Yay, indeed for your coming rain! Is that widespread? Will it dampen the LA fires?

I think I might have a couple more for tomorrow. πŸ™‚ The pix last longer than the snow itself! HA!
