Spring is Sprung

It must be spring. The temperature hit 70 degrees this weekend, and the wind is blowing like all get out today.

On the other hand, the northern part of the state is still getting snow. I included here an article (and the link, in case you think I'm making this up). This is what you get for trusting your spell checker.

Rio Arriba County declared disease due to snow
The Associated Press

SANTA FE—Gov. Bill Richardson has declared Rio Arriba County a disaster area due to heavy snow that has blocked roads and left residents stranded in their homes.

Richardson says emergency management, state police and the state Department of Transportation will be available for emergencies and to support local efforts to clear roads.

The heaviest snow has been reported around Chama and Tierra Amarilla.

The disaster declaration makes $750,000 in state disaster relief funds available to cover the cost of crews to clear public roads, respond to emergencies, support public services and utilities and related efforts.

The state emergency operations center has been activated to monitor the situation in the northern New Mexico county.

They appear to have fixed it now. I bet somebody was embarrassed. :)

Darn, and I deliberately didn't tell them, just so I could keep making fun of them.

IT's 60 here today in the Philly area so I guess the groundhog wasn't right after all.

Snow = disaster? They should come up here for a bit.
It's all kinds of crazy up here.

Geosomin, I've told several people about your frozen wheels problem. We are well and truly spoiled.
