Too bad the rotaries are not working, it looks like this spring they would be useful in clearing the line to Cumbres. Thank you Joe and Rebecca for the great picture of Chama.

Watching the cams, it is snowing again and it looks like over a foot on the ground. You guys in Chama will be having a nice white Christmas this year.

Joe thanks for all the great winter photos! Wishing I was up there, it doesn't feel too much like Christmas here this year -- highs in the mid 80's and humidity almost as bad as summer.
