I get impatient. The temperature barely drops below freezing and I start looking for snow, even if I have to drive for an hour or more to find it. Two years ago, minus a day, I found it coming down at Hoomak Lake, 130 km. to the north of home. (And then it rained and washed it all away.) Today, I made it to the Eve River rest area (95 km.); there was snow along the sides of the highway, but at Eve River, it started to rain, so I gave up.
But at least there was new snow on the mountain peaks.

Projected weather; freezing tonight, warmer tomorrow, and then more rain. Of course.
A Skywatch post.

Me falta paciencia. Apenas aparece la escarcha en el césped, ya ando buscando la nieve, aunque tenga que manejar por una hora o más para encontrarla. Hace dos años, menos un dia, estaba nevando en el Lago Hoomak, a 130 km. de casa. (Y luego vino la lluvia y se la llevó toda.) Hoy llegué al Rio Eve (Eva; el rio tantito al sur es el Rio Adán) a 95 km. de casa. Allí había nieve en los bordes de la carretera, pero ya empezaba a llover, y me volví a casa.

Dicen los meteorológicos: esta noche estamos a 0°, mañana subirá el termómetro, y luego lloverá. Como siempre.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
