Albuquerque snow!

I finally got back to ABQ on Thursday afternoon, just beating the huge snow storm that is still ravaging the Rockies. It started snowing on Thursday afternoon and didn't stop until Saturday about 3pm. On Friday, apparently, Albuquerque had it's snowiest day since they started keeping records. There is some discrepancy on exactly how much we got, but somewhere between 11 and 15 inches. On my wall at home, some had melted, but this is what I measured on Saturday morning:

These are my very "scientific methods" for measuring snowfall. This is my "yard" covered with snow. The weight of the snow definitely did the trick of killing all the horrible weeds.

One of the streets in my neighborhood. Very pretty! We almost didn't make it back to ABQ because of all the snow on Raton Pass between Colorado and New Mexico. I am glad we braved it though, because otherwise we would still be stuck in Trinidad, CO. These are some views from the truck:

I have a lot more pictures of Denver snow and adventures when I get more time to post. :)
