White Day In New Mexico

Today is a snow shower day along with gusty winds.

Unless we get some warmer temperatures, it doesn't look like I'll be using the car today. The Beast is safely put away in the GOCO Beast Barn. Unfortunately, along with it, is my snow scraper and brush. I am not about to trudge through the snow and mud to get it.

I will be heading down to the Flying J in an hour. Larry Lucier has a four-wheel drive Jeep with working defrosters and I'll be riding with him. He just called. He said I came pretty close to going into a ditch last night as we were heading out from Roger's. I couldn't see out my windows due to them being fogged up and covered with snow.

The snow is light, but the winds are making it more hazardous

Here's the forecast from the National Weather Service:
