Before Another Windstorm

Clouds over mesquites

Not too cold this morning when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I hit the trail.  The saving grace was lack of wind, but that will change radically today.  Gusts up to 50 mph are expected this afternoon, continuing through tomorrow.

Also expected is precipitation in the form of rain and snow; the only question now seems to be whether the white stuff will accumulate.

We saw nobody during our outing today.

This & next:  clouds over the banks of LDR-A
