One thing
I love about New mexico, and the Southwest in general, is the unpredictable
weather! We had a huge late winter snow storm
the past
few days. In fact, this was the most snow I've seen since coming to New Mexico
in 1998! Here are a few pictures.
The snow
was piled high on my porch!
Poor Fozzy
had a tough go of it, the snow was over her little head in places!
Here
is a little video of Fozzy having a tough time negotiating the snow. (2.2Mb,
avi format)
My truck
was a real mess!
The birds
were still out in numbers! My "ghetto" bird feeder I built held
up well, glad I put a roof on it!
I had dozens
of evening grosbeaks and dark-eyed juncos. A few lesser goldfinches and pine
siskens
were on the
thistle sock, and I had one white breasted nuthatch visiting the suet feeder.
An occasional
house finch
and mountain chickadee were around too.
The backside
of my place was dangerous with all the icicles!
After driving
the truck all day Tuesday, I had lots of ice built up around the skid plate
and I must have some ice
in one of
the rims because it is vibrating like crazy above 60mph! Hopefully nothing
is wrong, I head to Baja next week!!
Thanks for
looking...
