Very breezy this morning. There is a light mantle of smoke hanging over the Sacramento Mountains, a result of the forest fire in Ruidoso, I presume. |

Reading taken at 6:30 a.m., but didn't get registered. Current temp 53F, overnight low 53F, yesterday's high 89F. Light wind, clear skies. Still very dry, and desert vegetation has suffered from no rain and the sub-zero temperatures of early February. Some creosote bushes are starting to come back. |

04/14/2011 - Current 55F, Overnight Low 44F, Yesterday's High 86F. Not a cloud in the sky, very light breeze. Looks like it is going to be a marvelous day in the Land of Enchantment. Still no rain and very, very DRY. Our hard-hit creosotes are beginning to emerge, some of them throughout the length of the bush, but others just at the base. The mesquites, on the other hand, give no indication of their intentions; they appear to be without life. I hope they come back; they are a lovely bush, provide shelter for our wildlife (birds, rabbits, and gophers, mostly), and we need all the desert greenery we can get. |

Last evening brought just a teaser of some much-needed rain, .05 inch. It came with a terrific storm with terrible winds and some lightning. Blowing dust was gray-white and produced very low visibility and left a very hard gray-white coating on lawn furniture and vehicles. Hard-blown sprinkles started at approx. 7:55 PM and seemed to dry almost on impact. We are thankful for the rain even though we need much more. |

Last night's .13 in. of much needed rain started at approx. 9:30 PM, preceded by winds, thunder, and lightning at approx. 8:55 PM. There was much rolling thunder as the storm moved away. This morning the wind is calm, and it is a combination of cloudy and clear and hazy, with the sun rising through a red haze. Fairly clear toward the west, but there is a dark purplish haze on the western horizon and I am wondering if we are in for some smoke from the wildfires in Arizona. Very thankful for the rain. |

06/09/2011, 6:10 AM. Currently a cool 64F; Overnight low 64F; Yesterday's High 99F. Breezy, mostly clear but hazy, with low lying clouds to the NNE and dark smudge on the horizon to the S, SW, W, and NW. Yesterday's high winds probably blew some of the Arizona wildfire smoke out of the Basin. No rain. |

No rain. Desert looks barren and dead except for some green mesquite bushes. There are also a few creosote bushes that are emerging. I hope the desert "wakes up" once we get our rains. |

Probably will not be spending any significant time outdoors today due to these conditions. No rain. We are PARCHED. |

There is a light breeze and significant haze, but less so than yesterday's obliteration. It would be a pleasant day except for the wildfire haze. Still no rain. I am watering the few birds and rabbits that are in the area, and a house sparrow is industriously building a nest on the porch. It is good to see some activity on the desert. |

Yesterday we again had very high, very hot winds which negate practically every effort we make to keep our few plants hydrated. Today is partly cloudy, hazy, calm, and beautiful. Would be wonderful if those clouds would produce some moisture, any moisture, but probably won't happen according to the forecasts. The flora and fauna all are suffering. |

There was a welcome buildup of rain clouds, but the moisture never reached the earth. This morning is mostly clear, with a few high, wispy clouds, and just a few low lying clouds to the north. There is a slight breeze. There is an increase in haze, though, as we have an increase in forest fire in the not-too-distant mountainous areas. July should bring us much needed moisture, and it is good to see some blue dots on the state daily precipitation report map. |

Today is partly cloudy, which is encouraging this time of day. Very slight breeze, hazy. Late yesterday evening there were some wind and beautiful lightning display to the north, northwest, and west of this location, but the storm stayed north. July 4 is usually a significant day for rain here in the Southwest. We'll see what the day brings. When the storms do finally come, I expect they will be earth-shakers and gully-washers.

As often happens on July 4, yesterday brought rain clouds and a cooling, welcome shower, starting at approx. 1:20 PM with a few sprinkles, which stopped and then started again, building to a short shower, and providing a trace of precipitation in the rain gauge. There were no thunder or lightning with the rainfall. This morning it is calm, partly cloudy with haze, and there are dark smudges on the horizon to the north, southeast, and south. Appreciate yesterday's shower which brings some relief to our desperate situation. Is there more? |

It was a joy to my heart to see them. We usually see the first chicks in April. And in a normal year we see dozens and dozens of quail every day, but not this year. Note: These observations were taken at 5:20 AM, but I was unable to access the Internet to make this report until 7:30 AM. |

August 12, 2011, 7:00 AM - Current 75F, Overnight 75F, Yesterday 103F, Barometric Pressure 29.79. Mostly cloudy, hazy, breezy. Wonderful rain yesterday, .79 inches, came first slowly, but hard, big drops, at 5:17 PM then very hard at 5:25 PM - so hard it sounded like hail. There were times when I thought it could not rain harder, then the velocity would increase. Initially it stopped at 6:15 PM, then sprinkled/rained on and off for awhile. There were thunder and lightning with the storm, but it wasn't tremendously violent. Wind was not a big factor in this storm; just very hard, straight-down rain. There was much ponding and runoff on the desert. We are very thankful for the rain! |

This morning is clear but with smudges and haze on the horizons, very slight breeze. Beautiful morning. |
