 This isn't a usual post for the high desert here, but it's keeping the weatherfolk buzzing.  It's especially hard to see this since at 8am, it's a crystal-clear blue sky all around.

So much for us using our pool this weekend!

As Martha says, "It's a good thing!"

Unless of course you're in the path of mudslides and washouts where so much of the Manzanos burned down this past couple of months.
