so...you are admitting that you have been neglecting your duties here???

snow is pretty to look at and play in, not so much to drive in and shovel:







about 2" of fresh powder, on top of about 1" of rain/slush yesterday.

think i'll play inside today.

see, now you learned something today.

according to weather stats, Santa Fe averages about 30" of snow a year.

first shot is the view from the guesthouse deck. looking west.

Thanks for those pics Douglas, even though you didn't really want to take them, haha! Very pretty, strange though up here in the north we have green grass, and you in the desert have snow! the end is near.......

that's I-25 cutting thru the pass, about mile marker 293. there's an exit just beyond the pass. southbound lanes to right, northbound lanes to left (road takes a little bend from true N/S in this area)

we are at 7,000'

Taos is about an hour north.

there is also skiing closer to SF, but since i don't ski, i can't offer an opinion on it.
