Waiting

For this (courtesy of the NWS/ABQ):
... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM this evening to 11 am MST Friday...

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to 11 am MST Friday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.

* Snow accumulations... 1 to 3 inches across the east Central Plains... except locally around 4 inches on the higher Mesa tops of The Caprock.

Our brief three-day, mid-70s respite from winter weather is over, for the moment.  We'll be back into the low 60s by Sunday however and that's a great good thing.  I can do outdoor Happy Hours in that sort of WX, all that's required is a sweatshirt and the absence of wind.

So.  We did our bi-weekly commissary/beer run out to the base early this afternoon and we're all stocked up on consumables and good things to eat.  Ol' Man Winter should feel free to do his worst -- I'm prepared.  Bring it ON!

    Oh that’s precious. We got 3-½ ft.(thats feet) here in the last ten days with temps in the teens and single digits. And December is just a dress rehersal for “real” winter of Jan./Feb./Mar. As you know, Buck.

    Bring it on, Old Man Winter. Bring. It. On.

  6. The moisture will be good for the High Plains - like a heavy rain. We may get some here, and it is needed. And I get to rest up for a few days.

  7. And you said my suggestion of a shovel was 'droll'.
    Have fun and stay warm.

  8. Deb: Heh. I do not now, nor will I ever again, own a snow shovel. It's the principle!

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
