Wonder where our rains are?

Look no farther than Arizona, apparently. This is from 2 weeks ago:



And then this is from only yesterday:



What they don't have, want or need, we'd gladly--very gladly--take, right?

If you watch that 2nd video, at the end of it they also say that more rain is expected for them, too, later this week, the poor things.

The "glimmer of hope" for us is that, as of last evening, we have a 60% chance of some of that rain hitting our area.

Maybe they're pushing it this way for us. Here's hoping.

Sharp contrasts

 

Last evening on the Plaza was in sharp contrast to the night before, since the previous evening was all drinking and loud conversations.

As this shows, it was warm temperatures and wide open stores. It was really nice. While not yet completely, officially Spring, it surely felt like it.

And it's also in sharp contrast, apparently, to what it's going to be like on the Plaza this evening, when the rain comes in, and then this weekend, when the temperatures fall further and we get snow, if the forecast is correct.

But what the heck--last evening was terrific, Spring starts this weekend and next week has promises of temperatures in the 60's.

Somehow I think we'll make it.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
