It's A Warm Day

It is a warm day in Ennis. It was forty-two degrees when I got up this morning. It is expected to stay in the mid forties throughout the day.

I ran a quick errand downtown and got this obviously quick shot. The ice on the roads is melting.


Yesterday I saw large trucks removing some snow piles from Main Street. There are more cars in town today.


I see a few patches of blue sky. It feels good to be warmer and see the promise of some sunshine. I always prefer sun.

It's A Blizzard

Well, it was a short blizzard. It lasted about forty-five minutes. This snowfall was a wet one and the snowflakes were as big as a half-dollar.

We had a heat wave last week. Temperatures got up as high as forty degrees.

Then over the weekend it was back down to seven degrees.

Today the wind is howling. It blew strong and steady all night long. The temperature was twenty degrees this morning.

Snow Twister


Have you ever seen a snow twister?

I grew up in west Texas where the wind created twisters from sand. I had never seen one made out of snow.

Here are a couple of shots Ken got on our last trip to Bozeman. I thought you might enjoy seeing blowing snow twisters.
