Cold Snow?

Cold snow... "Is there any other?" The answer is "Yes". You see an inch of snow at 32 degrees provides about a tenth of an inch of precipitation. When that thermometer hits single digits and lower.. the moisture content is greatly reduced. Some have been mumbling about the snow, but we must remember that according to the drought monitors, much of our region is still in need of moisture. I know we are here at the ranch.

Robin took these photos this afternoon shortly before sunset. I think it is beautiful. And you know what? Even with the cold weather... some of those massive drifts from way back in December are melting. And the good news is... there is water trickling into our big dam (Reinhold Lake). We will need a lot more. Many will say that they will take it in rain, but in our area... March, April and into May... it will be snow... and more than likely "warm snow" . Praising God for much needed moisture. Meanwhile, enjoy the view.
