Wind, Rain & Snow

With Fall 2006 starting at 10:03 p.m., Friday evening this year, we were recovering from a strong afternoon wind that uprooted a dead Pinon tree just south of our adobe (9/20/2006).

As you can tell by the photo to the left. The wind did not even topple the light weight umbrella stand to the ground, though.

Shortly after the strong winds, we received another half inch of rain plus cooler temperatures and more snow in the higher elevations above 9000 feet, Thursday and Friday.

We hear from some that the farmers back in Oklahoma have been dusting in their wheat crops and experiencing a dust bowl of 2006. Helen Barrett had a great, short piece, photo in the local newspaper (Alva Review Courier), 9/21/2006, entitled: Dust Bowl '06.
