Oh gosh he’s a turkey!

This belongs in the caption contest

I'll ask @TwoCrows. I can submit it for *not an entry* at least though.

9:15 A.M. 51° with light rain here and light snow in the mountains!

32F. High of 34F.

Very slippery outside today from the freezing rain yesterday and last night.

I saw the news that the next county over had 45 cars in the ditch, one rollover death, but alcohol was involved in that one. Our county didn't have a number, just said "multiple."

51° at 2:45 P.M. It's been lightly raining here and lightly snowing in the mountains for five hours! Long rains like this are almost unheard of. It's perfect for the desert because there's time for the water to get absorbed instead of causing flooding and runoff. That helps the underground aquifers refill and it means everything is going to green up around here in the next couple of days, too. A steady rain means a little burst of spring will follow. The dogs wore their raincoats on their walk, so cute. They have raincoats and sweaters. They don't need them often but when they need 'em, they need 'em.

Here's the same area as earlier for comparison. It's not a lot of snow, but it's enough! The mountains are covered in clouds right now but we'll be able to see them and their snowy goodness tomorrow.

49° at 4:30 P.M. A few more hours and that's all we get. Hearing cars drive by on the wet street is such a rare and delightful sound! Definitely a day for staying in and baking cookies. Oatmeal spice cookies are in the oven right now.

63° and clear

These stills come from a community center web cam at about 8,200 feet (2,500 m). It's 27° up there at 5:30 P.M. Someone's dog is happily enjoying the snow.

Those cacti can handle snow? Amazing!

I have seen the desert in bloom - it’s amazing!

I am so glad you were able to get some lovely rainfall. What I take for granted and (loath at times) is a rare gift for you.
