The big storm predicted for western Colorado has, so far, only sent us rain. It’s created a huge mess. Right now it’s raining over the frozen ground, and once it does cool off and freeze, the driveways are going to be one solid sheet of ice. The worst part is that the snow pack is melting. We need snow, not rain! Every January, we get a period of thawing. It’s normal, but it’s always a bit unwelcome. Ah, well. By February, we’ll be wishing it was this warm. The sheep are unhappy. It’s wet, it’s muddy, and there aren’t any nice, clean snow cones for them to eat.
