Five Acres with a View

Twitter Updates for 2012-02-04

After feeding, I'm guessing 6 inches of powder snow. Still snowing. Horses are total lunatics. #
Looking at the accidents as reported by @CSTMC, I am very glad that the appointment this afternoon was rescheduled to Monday. #
Still snowing. I had hoped it would quit by time to do the evening feed for the horses. #
How can the weather be a "light drizzle" when it is only 19F? #
Still very gray out, but visibility is now several miles. #

After the Storm

I think we received around nine inches overall, but it is hard to tell with the drifting. Since we usually get hammered when there is a big storm in this region, it was nice to be spared for a change.

Since all the horses were acting like jerks this morning, I assume they know we have a blizzard forecast. #
Dreaded words in Southern Colorado: Albuquerque Low. #
So far (6PM) this blizzard is a bust here. #
Big storm still a bust here: some snow, some drifting, snow plow on top of hill behind house. #

The Weather Channel has some photos of our current snow storm: In Pictures: Snowstorm Pounds Rockies – weather.com. I am happy to be inside, with tortilla soup in the crockpot, looking out. So far, we have about seven inches, and the storm is supposed to last a few more hours. This photo was taken about 20 miles to the east of us by Mark Reis.
