My suspicion is that they were taking advantage of the weather. Friday was a lovely day. Sunny and cool but not cold.
For the past several days, the local weather people have been sounding the alarm. The front that had dumped a whole bunch of rain on California was headed our way. Weather warnings! Weather warnings! This will hit on Saturday PM.
With this is mind, I did all my errands on Saturday because they were forecasting possible snow for the whole metro area and I wasn't sure what the roads would be like on Sunday.
Sure enough, the rain started around 7:30PM. From the puddles remaining today, we must have gotten a significant amount of rain. However, it wasn't the violent downpour the weathercasters had made it sound like we'd be getting. It was more of an extended gentle rain.
This morning I woke up to sunny skies. It was chilly, made more so by a sharp wind. It sounds like the wind has died down, but it's still quite chilly.
Having said all that, the metro area did get snow. This picture shows why I don't live in the Sandia mountains east of town. I try to avoid situations that involve me shoveling snow.
I'm still missing Oscar. It's been a week and 3 days. I miss seeing him curled up asleep in my recliner. I even find myself missing him at 8 PM. He had to have one vaso-dilator pill a day and that was the time I usually gave it to him. Missing you, you silly furball.
