Where's The Snow?

The "little dab" of snow a couple of weeks ago and light rain a week ago today had been all we've received in precipitation since autumn began.

It looked promising since we had a lot of rain during the monsoon season (June-September) this year. But since then, zilch.

By now, we usually have had at least a couple of autumn snowstorms. But higher than normal daytime temperatures have been the norm this season.  

Hopefully, all that is going to change.

According to KRQE:

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Unseasonably warm weather continues through the first week of December but a pattern change may finally bring back moisture to the state next week.

Another warmer than average day across New Mexico, despite a cold front keeping temperatures as much as 10° cooler in southeastern parts of the state. Warmer weather returned to the northeastern part of the state. Temperatures remain unchanged in the western half of New Mexico. Dry and unseasonably warm weather will continue through the end of the week, even as another backdoor cold front arrives Friday. The front will drop high temperatures 5-15° across eastern New Mexico Saturday afternoon.

At least the daytime temperatures have been comfortable enough for me to ride my mini-bike to the Flying J to pick up my mail. The Mustang is in the shop (hopefully done tomorrow) and the Jeep's brakes aren't working.
