Our 70-80 degree weather dissapeared and turned into a cold winter storm two days ago. Closing all the moutain passes, leading in and out of this valley for 6 hours, due to heavy snow. Raining here, in the valley for two days, and coming down still at 2am Sat morning.
The last line in my last post was "I wish the sun would go away" (having algae issues), didn't include so much water in those clouds. Not complaining at all about the rain, just what it does when it gets this wet. Running water, and everything it can carry with it, all has to go somewhere......like where algae lives!
I did build up a slope around the pond area. But, within that area, there are some places that will pool water if given enough to hold. Not the kind of weather that we get very often around here, but we will take every drop of water that nature wants to give.... for the greater good of things it brings to the desert floor, and all that comes of it.
The forcast calls for the return of 80 degree weather. That will last for a very short while and our Spring, will not be sprung....but be over. Summer comes fast, and stays far too long.
