Would be a good day for installing ranch sliders.

NW really blowing a gale here, now, which is really annoying after today's rain.
No rain for a while and when you get some, the wind dries everything out again. #-o

Real, according to the anemometers.

Light snow on the mountain overnight, although it's gone now.
