We had a couple small flurries but nothing stuck.

Looks like more cold nasty miserable weather ahead.

Sitting at the resort in Angel Fire, New Mexico. Tried snowboarding for the first time. It wasn't pretty. Son, daughter in law, and son in law are going up the lift for one more run. I'm exhausted. Maybe skis tomorrow. At least I've done that before.
We left at 3:30 Saturday morn. The roads from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls were pretty icy. Amarillo to Angel Fire wasn't too bad.

Ground and weather shaping up for a perfect safe burn day. HS

Wow it finally turned pretty yesterday afternoon. Sun was out and with the temp above freezing most of the snow has melted. We had a little over 1 1/4" frozen in the rain gauge. It should be thawed out enough today to empty and start over. Still mud season, though. Walking across the front yard was like walking on wet sponges.

I had a quarter inch of ice (frozen rain) in the bottom of my rain gauge and about three and a quarter inches of snow on top of that, but it all thawed yesterday and I dumped about .81" inches of water out of the gauge.

And yep, wet sponges is a good description of the lawn.
