Finally SNOW!

thewayneRusset guessed that we'd have snow on October 10. She was off by a week. We got maybe 2" today/tonight. The snow plows are out, the roads were clean coming up, at least as long as I was on the highway, though it was kind of foggy. I don't expect Russet will be doing too much at the observatory tonight.
I got home at about 10:30 tonight and as I was getting my stuff in the back seat together to bring inside, I heard the front door open and close and suddenly there was a black poodle making her presence known. Russ was getting ready to leave for work and was taking Celeste for a walk, so I joined them and we crunched through new snow and had a good conversation.
She left, I turned on Good Eats, only to find the satellite system wasn't able to get a signal. Now, the odd thing was that it had no problems with the low channels (local/Albuquerque stations), but couldn't tune the upper ones. I finally realized that there's probably snow on the dish, so I walked out and brushed off the accumulation. Instant Alton Brown.
My parents missed the snow by about eight hours. They were in Las Cruces last week: they came up here Monday morning and left Wednesday AM. When I called them to tell about the snow, my Mom commented that it had been a lot of years since she saw it. Well, I don't imagine it's too different than the last time, but there is a big diff between the light fall we had today and a Buffalo blizzard.
Maybe I'll take some pix tomorrow with the digital, I need to have a second roll of film done for next week's assignment deadline. And Thursday I go in and start printing my own color negatives! Should be fun, it'll definitely be frustrating and challenging.

Post one of your pictures, please.
