We got somewhere between 5-8” in town. Probably 10+ on the mountain. Finally enough to make it worth going up to ski.

The fresh snow was off the hook this morning. Had to chain up so I can make it all the way to the usual Ellis trailhead for snowshoeing

no chains yesterday since I wasn't the first one making tracks. I followed the tracks of some commercial rigs working at the antenna farm up top. Additionally, the snow is uber dry and fluffy so traction was decent.
We got a little bit down here in town. Tons up on the mountain.

We were the first ones who made it to the Ellis trailhead for some snowshoeing action. It was a great time that ended with good food at Ribs restaurant at Cedar Crest. The Crest hwy had almost 12" and the trails had 12"+ of fresh powder.

Every bit helps, especially with fire season upon us.
We got a few inches on the mountain two nights ago? Anyway, we are supposed to get the storm of the century tomorrow morning thru Friday. I don’t trust the forecasters.

Weather forecaster is one of two job where you can be wrong most of the time and keep your job. I can't remember the other. Economist?

I went to the Jemez last Monday during the snowstorm and had a blast. Just last night I got 10" at the house, which means Luka and I are going snowshoeing to Sandia this morning. I might be late for work today 
. The Landcruiser is down due to the front axle housing sitting in the garage so I'll have to chain up the 4runner at the house before heading up top.
I met two couples at the hot springs. One of them camped in a beautiful Sprinter 4x4 van, the other one showed up Mon morning in a Mitsu Delica. First couple is American and beep bopping around the SW for couple of months. Delica couple are from Latin or South America and they've been beep bopping between the Americas. I kept hearing of vehicle breakdowns, border crossings, and all that.
It's always a good time at the hot springs and I never know who I'll be meeting there. Luka will just sit in the water with me and soak
. He's an interesting dog, to say the least.

Oh man, I got DENIED, DENIED my snowshoeing today 
. After spending close to 45min installing the rear tire chains at the house, I had to pull out a visitor's car out of the ditch. So, i turned around, headed home, de-chained and went into work.
Tomorrow it's GAME ON biotches.
