Red Sky In Morning...

For many years Dave and I had a sailboat which we sailed on Lake Erie and we knew this saying by heart, and followed it's warnings....Red sky in morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors delight. Which means red sky in morning, there is bad weather coming soon. Red sky at night - a beautiful day tomorrow. This is what we saw this morning at 7am out our dining window, looking west towards the Jemez Mountains. Oh boy are we in for it! The forecast for today is falling temperatures, rain throughout the day, turning into snow showers by 8pm with temps dropping into the mid 20's overnight. But, tomorrow the temps raise again to the mid 50's and this front will be long gone. We also saw a double rainbow not long after this picture was taken, Dave ran outside to take photos and bam - the rain started.

Right now, noonish, the sun is out, the wind is howling, and the outside temperature has dropped 10 degrees from a high of 56 at 10:30am and falling steadily. We are prepared for winter even if it's a quick 24 hour stint. This campground has sights for 150 rv's and right now about 25 are left. As I said the other day - mass exodus to south. One couple we talked to on Sunday said they were leaving on Monday to go to Durango - well, we hope they made it because Colorado is being hit with a winter storm and they were driving right into it. We also can see snow on the mountains now where it wasn't there about 5 hours ago. Better on the mountains than here! We make it through the next day or so and we are good. We have decided to move to Las Cruces which is 40 miles north of El Paso, TX sometime early next week. Distance is 270 miles south - and we are amazed that just this small distance will make our life more easy.
