Sweet Alegre was feeling the sleepies on a breezy winter afternoon that wasn’t too nippy.

Who’s ready to take a nap with Tenaz? 🙂

This was the morning after our recent rain/snow event. As illustrated by the image, the lower elevations got rain, and the upper elevations got only a spattering of snow – and it melted pretty quickly. A sign of how dry we are is that even with the rain, the ground soaked it up, and it wasn’t *that* muddy. … It was a little muddy … but almost more “tacky” than actually muddy.

Seneca rouses long enough from her nap to look at a band across the little arroyo between her band and that band. Then she went back to sleep. With a high temp that day at 50 degrees, conditions were lovely for a nice nap!

The ground was VERY muddy, but it’s mostly free of snow now. The 95 percent chance we had a few days ago resulted in zero snow (ZERO! how does that happen?!). Now the forecast is giving us about 40 percent chance of rain or snow today and tomorrow. We have to remain optimistic.

Sweet ‘n curious, that’s our girl Rowan. 🙂

If complaining about lack of snow leads to more unforecast snow in the future, I’ll do it!

After Thursday’s bomb, snow-wise, our next big snowfall was supposed to be Sunday (today). Snow Friday night/Saturday morning was NOT in the forecast – until late Friday night. But with no tell-tale blue blobs in the vicinity Friday night, I went to bed thinking it was wrong or wouldn’t amount to anything.

Saturday morning, I woke up to 2 inches of glorious snow! Please, chuckle along with me at the forecasters. As high-tech as weather forecasting is these days, even they don’t always get it right. 🙂

Mother Nature still rules, and as surprises go, this was an awesome one!

I schedule all my posts at least the evening ahead of their publication time, so I don’t always see into the future, either. With any luck – and good forecasting – we’ll be waking up to (more) snow, as has been in the forecast for the past week!
