Appears some rain is in the higher elevations this afternoon. This portion of the yard very quiet in mid afternoon today.

Just looked in - 3:30pm (10:30pm UK BST) - is that snow flurries I can see ? Or insects ?

Hi Mike, I think those are the moth's that mature from the tent worm, at least that is what it looks like. Someone else may have a take on it.

I didn't see what you saw, but it's nearly 80 degrees in Chama so likely not flurries. Cumbres can (and often does) get snow every month of the year. But, I don't believe that's true for Chama.

Showers on Cumbres chase 484 and 215 into Chama at 4:12. At 6:29 it's off to the wye as the storm comes down the valley. At 4:41 it back from the wye to the coach servicing position. Afterward 484 cuts off and heads for servicing
