Yup, March is a traitor.

Every damned year.

After a couple of unpleasantly blustery but not especially cold days, March let winter back out of the box…

Cold AND heavy overcast isn’t the usual combination, but yesterday had me running the Honda on the porch just to jazz some juice into my depleted batteries even though I wasn’t particularly stressing them. Happily, I can do that now. It cleared in the late afternoon just in time for a January-worthy frigid night, so I’m glad I spent the gasoline on that or I might have actually worried about frozen electrolyte.

And this morning…

With the unaccustomed addition of a little humidity from that dusting of snow, the whole desert looks like a jewelbox. That’ll stop as soon as the sun gets a foothold because today’s supposed to be quite a lot warmer than – well, pretty much all last week.
