Spring Snow

We got a bit of a snow-dusting yesterday afternoon/evening in Jamestown, New Mexico. It looks like we received about an inch of the white stuff from what I saw this morning. 

It was pretty much expected. But it was also needed as the winter has been mostly dry. 

We may be getting more tonight through Saturday according to the National Weather Service. At least I am not located in the southern part of New Mexico. They've been having dust storms like crazy.
