A lot of recent immigrants to New Mexico seem to be under the misapprehension that it's another Phoenix, climatically speaking. Not so. Here are some shots around our place this morning:

Last night, an acquaintance of ours from out of state reported being told, when the snow was only 14" deep, "I've never seen the like in twenty years." I can only conclude that the speaker was one of Santa Fe's many two-weeks-per-years residents; we are afflicted with a great infestation of these tourist homeowners. It's nonsense, of course: it did this two years ago, and heavy snows, though not common, are hardly unprecedented.

We're not going anywhere for a while, so maybe I'll come up with some more posts.
