Greg Cook's storm pics from Seattle prompted me to post a few pics a buddy of mine sent from Albuquerque this week. As Jesse Cloud has pointed out a few times, the area around Albuquerque has gotten more snow than they've had for decades, so it's an unusual event.
My buddy Jeff has a good eye for carving (he does wood gnomes), and he started out making a snow monster in the yard, and ended up with Nanook of the North. Here's the story he told me:
He apparently inspired the neighnor kids, because they built an igloo, and even spent the night in it the first night:
Here in SoCal, we've had some very high winds and a bit of damage, but today it's sunny, calm t-shirt weather. The only real evidence of the winds last night was that a dozen or so oranges had been pre-harvested and were waiting for me on the ground this morning.

I was thinking about my 8th grade social studies class where we saw a movie called Nanook of the North. It got me to thinking about eskimos...and one thing led to another (I guess I should just stay away from the snow shovel in the future). I think I freaked out a woman who was skiing past my house. I turned from this giant head I was carving as she was passing (I had a huge butcher knife in my hand). She swiftly turned around and went back the way she had come.
