Snow Coming Monday

Today's temperature got to about 52° in Jamestown, New Mexico. Tomorrow is forecast to get up to 57°.

But, the "fly in the ointment" is that we're forecast to have a 70% chance of snow showers starting Monday. This is supposed to last through Tuesday. All this will be accompanied by winds, with gusts up to 50 m.p.h. Monday.

Lovely.

Today was a nice day and I managed to clean out The Beast and take it to a coin-operated car wash. It needed it, especially with all the dirt from the snowstorm I drove through in a Arizona back in December. After that was all done, I put it into the GOCO Beast Barn for safe-keeping.

I did drive the Jeep down to the Flying J today to pick up a few things.
