We are having the oddest weather for January.  Weather more along the line of July.  An unusual warm air mass has funneled itself up from the Gulf of Mexico, giving us RAIN.

Friday we were rather warm with heavy fog, the weatherman was calling an inversion.  But we never cooled down to below zero, instead we stayed warm…22* all that day, into the night, and even into the next morning.

Visibility was very poor.

Then the weather people started telling us about the odd weather pattern we were now in.

Fog is beautiful.

We see very little fog here.  As a child I was always fascinated that (for us, here in the high mountain desert) when we have fog it is really a cloud sitting down and surrounding us.  Living in a cloud made me feel rather ethereal—light, airy, not earth-bound.  It still does.

Then it started to rain…a very wet drizzle, you could walk in it for thirty minutes before getting soaked, but very steady.  On and on it rained, all day, all evening, all night, until about 4 in the morning.  Then it stopped.  But the heavy fog didn’t leave.

Visibility, as I write this is 1/4 of mile.  We are surrounded in cloud.  It isn’t raining …. yet.

But it could start.

It might snow!  The water guys are saying that it is snowing in the San Juan’s and up at Gunnison. That is good news.  I hope it dumps FEET of very wet snow!  🙂

For FEET of snow I can enjoy living in a Cloud!  🙂 🙂
