Desert Rain

Posted by: Desertrain, 5:58 PM GMT on January 29, 2013

It seems we had a surprise 3+" of snow overnight. I've taken photo's that I"ll post later. Last I heard was to be little to no accumulation at my 4,000'. So when I looked outside at 10AM! I was shocked at the snow still present although it was well above freezing.

Nearly an inch of precip. over these few days, which is nice.

Well. The long summer is over. We had our first freeze last night after mid 80 degree days that seemed to go on all fall long. OK. Some days were well into the 90's.I was wondering when we'd take the plunge, since most nights were still into the 40's and 50's. It may seem unusual to some folks, but November can have our coldest nights some years, when the dewpoints are very low along with the sun. Then comes more winter like conditions with dewpoints into the ...
