let it snow, let it snow....

we are blanketed with snow here in the city. it fell and fell and fell all day yesterday. i have not been out, but the roads were treacherous last night and this morn (Marsha informed me). although there's only about 3inches of snow, not too many people here in the city know how to handle it. plus since we are in higher elevation, the roads freeze sooner than later. it is beautiful this morn as it was yesterday. the birds flock just outside my door. i put the last of bird feed i had out. will pick up twice as much tomorrow. for the past several days they have come in numbers all day looking for food. so i'll start feeding them twice a day again until the spring time. i feel bad that i don't have enough for them at this moment, yet i know they will be fine for i think to myself, there was no food out there before i put the feeder up. yet my heart goes out to them....anyways, there's another storm on its way. it may last a couple days therefore shutting the city down for a few more days until the sun comes out again and melts it all away. one person in my crew at work lives out on the other side of Sandia Mtns. she's been snowed in for a couple days already not being able to get anywhere. that mountain range holds back a hell of lot more snow than we get here in the city. living up there myself years ago, we'd get 2-3 feet, not inches in comparison. but O is it so beautiful. if i get a chance, i'll drive up there and take some photos, but not today. more than likely the interstate is closed anyways that leads that direction. but most of all it's just too damn dangerous with New Mexico drivers. as i've mentioned before, they drive like it's dry pavement regardless of weather conditions speeding their asses off down the road. anyways, i see at the moment a bit of sunshine peeping thru the clouds. it's going to be a great day to lay back here at home and read a book, do homework or just plain fun stuff. Life is Good today-as always it is....

We have had several accidents today and people here are used to bad weather, they just think they can handle it and of course none of the businesses close down so everyone still has to go to work. Stay in where it is safe.
