Duchess Snowy Domain

The last few days in SW Colorado around here have been in the mid-40s. It even got up to 50F in Durango on this Monday afternoon. BUT ... that may be the calm before the real storm that is expected the latter part of this week with more cold weather and a possibility of snow again.

Those weird shaped icicles on the left were snapped as they formed from the slowly, melting, sliding snow from the rooftop.

We discovered the snow amounts in Oklahoma last week (February 8th and 9th) from Alva's newspaper, which said they had 10 to 14 inches of snow the beginning of last week with winds and three feet snow drifts.

Roy in Perry (Feb. 9) said , "Perry measured about 12-inches while the snow was still (slightly) falling, but now the sun is shining brightly and I've looked for my sun glasses so that I can shovel my way to the car. Not that I plan to drive anywhere today, but I wanted to see if there was some more firewood in the trunk? It's very cold outside and my wood stove needs replenishing. There's supposed to be a warming trend beginning tomorrow and back into the 50s and 60s."

Before the warmer temps the last few days, Happy Valentines Day! View/Write Comments (count 0)   |   Receive updates (0 subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
