Election week will bring snow showers to Jamestown, New Mexico.

Funny thing, when I looked at this week's forecast of the National Weather Service, it stated that snow showers may begin tonight through Monday. But on Election Day (Tuesday), it will be sunny with a 50° temperature. Then, possible snow showers (40% chance) will hit on Wednesday and the rest of the week. 

Today, I did manage to drive the Jeep down to the Flying J and around the community. It was the first time in days I did so.

Right now, the area is socked in with clouds, so maybe we will get snow showers tonight (40% chance).
