fire and ice

While in Taos I have checked the weather repeatedly. How cold is it going to get tonight? Tomorrow?

Is it going to snow?

Last night when going to bed, we were under a winter advisory from 11pm to 11am. Snow flurries first, then snow! Yippee!

We previously had just a dusting of snow.

But wait! Today was the main event. Once it got going…

…it kept going. It snowed all morning and well into the afternoon.

It was stunning.

We needed more firewood, though. We had one pair of boots between us so we took turns traipsing over to the high stack of firewood.

I used the fireplace brush to clean off the car in hope of leaving tomorrow morning.

I also started the car up and drove backwards and forward repeatedly, moving over to each side so as to create a base for driving out.

We had a fire going for 12 hours.

Fire and Ice.

It was a very good day.
