San Juan Skyway - Winter 2008

Early this week, for my birthday drive, we spent a day driving around the San Juan Skyway, between Durango and Silverton, Colorado.

The closer you got to Telluride, Ridgeway and Ouray, the snow was deeper than the tops of the fence posts. The roads were clear, though.

The first of March, 2008 started out calm and the wind didn't start chiming the windchimes until after 8:00 a.m. this Sunday morning. Saturday the 1st March was sunny, though. .... did it come in like a lamb and will it go out like a lion?

Thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes on my 60th birthday this last Monday. I can tell that I need to update the photo on my website that I had taken in 1996, because many of you were surprised that this NW Okie was not in her 40's instead of turning 60.

As to the snow photos with the snow piled on the roof in the mountains of southwest Colorado... another reader was wondering, "Boy, that snow is sure pretty, so peaceful and serene. Why don't you get that snow off the top of your house? ... LOL"

With the heavy-duty mountain melting of snow this week with temperatures above freezing, I am assuming that there have been some heavy slides off the roofs of houses in the mountains and piling mounds of snow on the ground above the tops of windows.
