Duchess' Snowy Domain

Have you ever seen a snowflake up close? My son, Robert, took a great photo closeup of a few snowflakes that landed on a wheelbarrow at Vallecito, north of Bayfield, Colorado this last Saturday, February 6, 2010.

Lots of SW Colorado citizens have been busy shoveling snow off of their roofs this past week. As you can see in the picture on the left.

Did you notice how the shoveled snow from the roof has been piled up on the ground -- almost reached the edge of the roof by a knee height. There are lots of homes looking a lot like that up here after long shoveling rakes have done their daily, weekly jobs.

Early Sunday morning we awoke to 5 inches of new snow and had another inch during the morning hours by 10:00a.m. We also had another couple of inches Sunday evening.

As to Superbowl Sunday this week and the Saints Victory last night ? Way to go Saints!

The Saints have long been associated with losing, disappointing their fans, BUT ? this Superbowl Sunday was a different and welcome outcome as the Saints defeated Peyton Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV -- Giving New Orleans a reason to cheer with a Victory of 31 to 17. Great News for New Orleans and the Saints! Go Saints!

Some of our readers and facebook friends from Oklahoma have told us to keep that snow here. I will try, BUT ? some of that snow might slip through my lasso!
