14. Wildly inconsistent.

Sat May 9, 2015, 10:22 AM

May 2015

Not that it's unusual for us to have wild swings in the high desert, but...

We got a heavy duty snowstorm early in November, early for us, then warm rain the rest of the winter, so the snow pack is too low. Again. We've heated up to the high end of high temps all spring, just to suddenly dip back down. This week's example: there's a 20 degree difference between Wednesday's high and today's, and it's supposed to drop down that 20 degrees again by this coming Wednesday.

It's been breezy...not unusual.
