Views of Storms in the Valleys around the Mesa

One of the cool things about living on a Mesa and having Valleys on 3 sides is seeing the changes in weather. We can have storms and simultaneously sunshine, or even what may look like a tidal wave where no ocean has existed for a very long time.
Must be the land of enchantment.

All the photos in the video were taken within minutes of each other.

Heat, Heat, and more Heat

Heat, heat and more heat. With Temps up onto the 100s and no air conditioning we tend to stay quiet on front of the fans or go into town in AC car. But we haven’t been getting much done here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . We do have a neighbor that works at night, and sleeps during the day. This is fine and dandy for some, but I like a good sleep, and rather sleep when it’s cooler.

We do work on a few things in the evenings once it starts to cool down. But dealing with the heat makes us exhausted and grumpy.

To help keep the dogs cool we us cooling towels, or a damp towel. With fans blowing, and the towels the dogs they lay around and sleep. But they are ready to go out and play early mornings and in the evenings when it’s cooler.

I’d rather deal with this heat and cooler nights then the cold Minnesota winters.

University of New Mexico (Ziamet Weather Program)

The Ziamet Weather station tower is up. Next the University Of New Mexico will be out to install everything on the tower. Our understanding is that it tracts temps, humidity, dew points, barometric, wind speed/directions, rain, ground temp and moisture and I think it tracks seismic activities.

We are not sure what Ziamet Weather program is using the data collected for.

One thing for sure we look forward to having some weather information on this end of the mesa. Since the mesa on this end is narrow about 2 miles across and valleys on 3 sides our weather (Temps, winds, precipitation) tends to be different from what we get on weather apps.

We do have a small weather station for ourselves, it works rather well, but not always the most accurate.

Fireworks and Moonrise from behind the Manzanos Mountains

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July.

We did, a bunch of the neighbors came, we had a BBQ and went to the other end of the Mesa that overlooked at least 6 towns and watched a beautiful moonrise from behind the Manzanos mountains and Fireworks from individuals to the cities shooting fireworks off. It was the best show I have ever seen, city lights, fireworks going off all over. Well worth the short travel to see!

We look forward to seeing everyone during the July Camping and Movie Night on Saturday the 15th.
