A calm day allows me to fell a 24-inch diameter tree, and drop it where I want it in order to minimize damage to other trees.

12 hours ago the forecast was that we would maybe get 1-2 inches in the mountains.

As it gets dark, 7 inches, and snowing at a moderate rate.

HA! Welp. Guess we aren't going to Alamogordo today.

Enormous rock slide south of the tunnel on Hwy. 82.

These boulders are taller than a man standing up. This will take a while.

Southern New Mexico gets 6,000 sunny days a year.

After a storm you can help the driveway snow melt faster by darkening it with wood stove ash.

I have a steel barrel where I collect my ash.

Today's a great day to use half of that barrel.

Mountain life a day after a winter storm.

The driveway is gravel, long, steep, uphill from here.

Another crappy morning in Southern New Mexico at 9,500 feet.

The afternoon will be even crappier when I fire up the snow thrower.
