The 5th of 6 seasons in NM has hit..the 6th has passed..MUD.
It is a real ....welll not good here where we live in NM...Fence Lake...gust up to 60 mph + I have a wind gauge..
has ripped the roof off the chicken house many many times no matter how hard i try to nail it, screw it, board it down...ripppppp......not as bad lately, since i have used different screws etc...but the trash pit gets blown all over like down the road a couple miles, and i haveto go and bag trash...
the pollen gets into the house..etc...its the pits.
Give another meaning to the term 'brown out' doesn't it! Here in Ruidoso we see 'white outs' as much of the White Sands blows through on such days. And if there happens to be a sprinkle of rain along with the white out it can leave a white film on your car as if you'd been parked in salt spray at the beach.
Or to the term earth tones. I was at opening day at Bonita Lake one year when it rained whitish mud and then snowed these things that were like styrofoam pellets. Weird. The fishing was good though, if you could get a cast in between gusts.
Pretty windy today, along with red flag warnings. It's sooooo dry.
Thunderstorms around the Ruidoso area this afternoon with more in the forecast through next weekend. I'm risking keeping my computer on even though I hear thunder about. Not much precip yet at my house. But enough to wet the pavement.

Is it pretty dry over by you?
Have a generator? I do. I was without power for 8 hours recently and it wasn't even storming.
No generator, and seldom a problem with power outages. When an occasional outage does occur, it is normally very short lived.
That's something I've never heard of happening (story link)
Pretty windy again today in Sierra County. I'll bet the water windmills are getting a workout lately. Last year when I planted tomato plants, the wind and heat dried out the leaves and my plants eventually died. If I plant this year, I have to make some sort of a wind-break for them.
Location: Northern and Western Washington State (the rainy part)
