Sure could use some of that California weather. Where I live (south central New Mexico) we only have about 30 percent of normal snowpack, and some migrating birds are showing up about three weeks early. We have had our first wildfires in the last few days - at the end of February! Unheard of. On top of that, delays in federal hiring mean the seasonal firefighters are going to have to push hard to get their training in (although they have been hired now). I wonder if I'll be starting in the fire lookout early, too.

We are enjoying a short period of blocking high pressure, perhaps the pattern is changing. Let's wish for moisture to move your way.

It warmed up today. The downspouts from the gutters started to drip today, a new sound on this last day of meteorological winter. Spring starts tomorrow!

If you'd asked me in December would I be tired of rain in March I'd have thought you were crazy. Its nice to have a break. Going to take my one day off today and go install new seat covers in the truck. I'm sure Riley will happily lay in the sun while I work.
