It began snowing at 4am. The morning was cold, just above freezing. I cancelled any plans for a sunrise walk with the dogs. The weather forecast said "snow". The backyard was coated with a light layer of dry snow which melted by sunrise, but the peaks were shrouded in grey storm clouds for much of the morning.
I finally walked the dogs by 3pm, just along the maintenance road for three miles. I could see fresh snow around the peaks, but no snow in our neighborhood. Even the ground felt dry. However much we got in precipitation, we needed it. So glad our hike up Apache peak was changed to Sunday.
The central states are expecting another ferocious storm with Xyli and we got the far southern edge of her today.
