Snow Day! After a week of relatively normal temperatures (highs in the low 50s), we woke up this morning to another 6 inches of new snow!It has been quite a winter in Santa Fe, and the snow and cold temps just keep on coming.  Fortunately, schools are already out this week for “spring” break, and the roads aren’t too busy yet with out of town traffic. The trek to work today was a bit on the treacherous side, but by this time of the year Santa Fe drivers are getting pretty savvy in winter driving conditions.

On wintery days like these the New Mexican posts a blog for people either wanting information regarding road conditions, or people wanting to tell/show others about current road conditions.  It’s pretty handy, and people will often post photos of specific trouble spots. It can be found below:

Don’t despair though, in the past few days you could start to see the first signs of spring.  Daffodils, tulips, and Iris’ were starting to poke through the ground, and grasses were starting to green up a bit. Heck, even the buds on my apricot tree were starting to perk up. After the significant amount of precipitation that we have had this year (Santa Fe’s normal average amount of precipitation by March 10th is 1.68 inches, whereas this year we are at 2.65), it’s sure to be a green spring.  And in a month all will be abloom and spring will have arrived.
