Our First Big Snow - Santa Fe Style
Yesterday, during the afternoon, a slight sprinkling of snow began. As I watched in amazement along with the childhood feeling of excitement "Winter Is Coming" - the snowflakes got larger and larger. The amount of snow became thicker and thicker. The wind then began kicking around the snow so it danced different directions.
Four hours + later my patio table looked like a thick white cake on legs! The fir branches in my garden are like brushes filled with white.
The thermometer read 41 degrees when the first flakes began to fall - and at bedtime had plummeted to 9 degrees. The glimmering ocean is so gorgeous in Southern California. The sparking snow here in Santa Fe is something new and magical to behold!
Being thankful for hot running water, food in the fridge, plentiful heat and warm blankets - it was great to get to sleep knowing the morning would bring sunlight - making the white winter wonderland an amazement to behold.
