Since we last talked...
...there have been a few unsettlingly harsh displays of unfettered sun, but those seem to have fallen away. Yes, the advisory went into effect early. Wish the sky had heard about it. I've caught the radar. The precipitation is happening around Prescott but not on us. Prescott Proper (not including Prescott Valley and some of the surrouding plain towns; they're all getting snow, or, at least, heavy sleet, right now) is in the bottom of a bowl made by the Bradshaw mountains. Mom and I life on the western side of the bowl, just below the rim. It is not uncommon for a mini-inversion to develop (especially during the week, considering all the construction dust around here) as the storms falter and drop their loads on the other side of the bowl. Since it's an isolated montain inversion, though, a strong storm can kick it out of its ass.
Hmmm. I see that three p.m. today is to feature full snows. I can see that. The "chances" are now 60% today, 40% tonight, 30% tomorrow morning. Then, at least five days of cold sun.
Maybe I'll snatch a nap with a cat and let it be interrupted by Mom's natural rhythm today. I'd love to awaken to snow. I was expecting to this morning and was disappointed.
Later.
