Snow

We woke to snow this morning. Doesn't happen in this area every year and as a matter of fact, it has been about 8 years since our last snow, at least as we saw it. Some parts of Luna County may have had some snow. Our newspaper didn't come this morning and we didn't expect that it would. The streets will be full of water as the snow melts. Deming doesn't have very good drainage and it is fortunate that we live in the desert or we would always be walking or driving through water.

Floyd just left to go to Walmart as he wanted to pick up a few things. It will be a messy drive. We took our tree down on the 27th and we will take the rest of the stuff down sometime this week. We needed to get the tree down because we were walking a maze to get seated, lol.

This week should improve weatherwise as highs will return to the 50s with no more moisture. We always need moisture, but not snow!! Strange place to live in some ways, but our winter comes early and leaves early. The worst is probably over now, at least I hope so. Our nights have been bitterly cold, in the 20s and we do not need more of that.

Enjoy the New Year. We old folks go to bed early so we will watch the Rose Bowl Parade and a little football and that will be the extent of our celebration. That is just fine with us. Hope the people that shoot guns and fireworks go to bed early this year, lol
