Incoming?

 We are under a winter weather advisory starting tonight and into tomorrow above 10,000 feet.  We are at 8600 feet so I have some hope.  Scary, scary dry up here.  The rest of the week looks good for possible additional snow.   I came across a photo from four years ago late November, and the difference in the ice caves is startling.  Come on, cold weather!

Saturday afternoon, suddenly we had no water.  Mike called Mark Veenstra, who got a hold of Ed, our on-call plumber.  Ed had gotten the alarm that something had shut off, but it came in while he was out of phone range.  He came right over, fixed whatever it was, and we had water by late afternoon.  We're thrilled that it all worked out the way it has been planned.  Unfortunately, there is a new leak at the valves on the dam, and Ed will be coming up to change those out.  In the infamous words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, "It's always something," but all's well that ends well.

Saturday night, we went downtown to the Ouray Christmas Parade and tree lighting.  It was short but sweet, and that a town of 1000 people would actually even have a parade is pretty amazing to me.  The picture quality isn't the best - nighttime and moving objects:
