Images of Snowy Albuquerque

It was garbage pickup day for us yesterday and the accumulation atop our container provides a good measure of how much fell here yesterday by sundown, in the Hoffmantown area.

Don't you just love our rare snow day reveries in Albuquerque? It was so silent and bright last night with everything coated with what we estimate to be 5-7 inches in our neighborhood. We got another half inch to an inch this morning, but now a filtered sun has emerged and started the melting process. I doubt all of it will melt today, though, so watch out for those shiny, icy patches on the roads tonight. (Click on images for larger versions. All photos by Mary Ellen.)
