An early morning walk in the snow.

The morning after Christmas, I woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep so finally gave up and got up at 5:30am. It was still pitch dark outside and the house was incredibly quiet. I peered out into the dark and saw that the snow was still coming down. Once it started to get light, I bundled up, put on my boots and went out for a walk.









As you can see, there is only an inch, maybe two, on the ground, but since that area doesn't get much snow, it was enough to shut everything down. Not that Santa Fe gets a ton of snow anymore, but it takes more than an inch or two to shut everything down so it kind of made me giggle.

It did not shut us down as we headed to North Carolina just before lunchtime. The roads were totally clear.

Next up, more snow. Too bad we're not actually getting any here in Santa Fe. We really need it.
