A Ramble II


A classic Albuquerque Low weather pattern going on right now. This one is bringing a shit load of snow. At the moment it has almost stalled. If this was summer, the rising heat from the High Plains would produce thunderstorms stalled above the Front Range. Note the moisture being pulled up from Texas. This is meeting colder moisture moving in from the Pacific. Add rising heat from the High Plains and you get the epic floods mentioned in "A Ramble".

Cheery news from the National Weather Service.

Potential good news for downstream water users. Hopefully Nebraska and Kansas won't get their ten year share in two weeks. They whine so loud when that happens.

Remember, in Colorado, "Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting".

Yeah, our "new" daughter-in-law was supposed to come out here this coming week, and they canceled her flight out of DIA.

Hope y'all get through it OK.

OOOPS....never mind that. The wife just told me she made it out OK.

Excellent news. DIA can be wretched. Spent one winter there on a deicing crew.

At least it's snow (for now) and not rain like in Houston... Hang in there WSF!

Something to be said for the old saw of high, dry and windy.

Funny. Meanwhile in Indiana it is summer at 85 and light soft rain at night. NO WHINING here.

Heat stroke weather.

Eh. No humidity. It's like Hawaii.
