Snow in Albuquerque!


We've gotten a bit of snow here in Albuquerque during the past week. Last Tuesday we woke up with about 1/2 inch of snow on the ground. It snowed a little bit more (pictured above), but it melted pretty quickly.

Here's a timeline of what happened yesterday (Sunday):
7:45am-We rolled out of bed and let the puppies out to 'go potty.'
7:46am-I noticed that it was looking cold and windy so I decided to check a weather report to see what to wear to church. Oh, but there was no sign of snow...yet.
7:55am- I mentioned to Em that there was a 30% chance of snow/rain all day as well as a higher chance of precipitation between Monday and Wednesday.
8:17am-Em and I got out of the shower and started getting ready for church when we noticed a bit of white stuff outside our window.

Here's a pic of what it looked like in our yard after just a few minutes.




Those who know about the Albuquerque weather know that usually snow doesn't stay on the ground for too long. Here's what the yard looked like at about 12:15pm.


Our third snow storm of the season (in just a week) is has been dropping snow on us for about 5 hours and it's still coming down. Woo hoo!

It's nice that you got a touch of snow for Christmas. I just brought my two boys in from the 3 inches of snow that came down here last night. They are now enjoying their hot cocoa. Hopefully ours will stick around for Christmas!
