Snow This Week?

Last night, while I was at Ballominaria in Gallup, one of the balloonists told me that when they launched the balloons at Red Rock Park yesterday morning, it was 19° outside. Brrr!

Well, it is a good thing that the Red Rock Balloon Rally was held this weekend as it appears we may (hopefully) get snow this coming week. At least that's according to the National Weather Service.

The chances for snow showers is low, but we sure could use the moisture. It is dry out and it has been wreaking havoc on my sinuses.
