A dog-sized cave, just right for Becca.
Just to further confirm that you made the right decision to move to Las Cruces, Packrat, yesterday we awoke to 6" of fluffy snow (skiers would have loved the powder!) and a temperature of 5 degrees. But, by mid-afternoon it was near 30 and most of the snow had disappeared from paved surfaces. Today (Wednesday) is sunny and even a bit warmer. But, we're supposed to get snow showers this evening followed by the coldest two days of the season, then a wintry mix on Saturday morning.
Sometimes Becca can be too curious for her own good.
Your description of the cold, Scott, makes me crave a big bowl of hot soup. Hope the weather breaks soon for you. I actually saw an old-timer Soaptree Yucca in bloom on a neighboring street.
