Winter Sunrises in New Mexico<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

Winter sunrises in New Mexico are as variable as the winter weather. We do have winter here, and every few years Albuquerque will have a heavy snowfall, such as 22 inches in 2006, or extreme cold, such as -12\u00b0F one night in 2011 and temps not above 5\u00b0F for three days. But those are extremes.<\/p>\n

This was sunrise on a winter day in Albuquerque. It was cold; gusty winds contributed to the wind chill; it snowed a bit; and there was a fair amount of sun! Tomorrow will be warmer and less windy!<\/p>\n

Stormy winter sunrise over the Sandia Mountains, on a day that saw wind, snow, and a fair amount of sun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is about as bad as it gets in Albuquerque at this time of the year.<\/p>\n

Many winter days, and winter sunrises, in contrast, are spectacular!<\/p>\n

\"winter
Soft and beautiful winter sunrise on a day which had virtually no winds and above average temperatures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This sunrise was less than a week ago, on a day that was unseasonably warm and beautiful.<\/p>\n

I do not have to be reminded how fortunate I am to call this “Land of Enchantment” home<\/em>. Last winter I felt sorry for various friends in the Northeast dealing with the Polar Vortex. This year it seems to be not only cold, but wave after wave after wave of deep and heavy snow – blizzards!! Facebook friends are comparing various snowblowers, or concern about husbands having heart attacks while shoveling snow, and a variety of such concerns. (I keep thinking I really ought to buy a new snow shovel; I still have the one I had in Kansas City, and that was 30 years ago!! \ud83d\ude42 ))))))) )<\/p>\n

With the publication of the ebook, BOSTON SOLSTICE BLUES<\/a>, a collection of 51 daily poems written in another year, between December 5 and January 24, friend, fellow anthropologist, and writer Jim Stallings has reminded me again how glad I am to be here and not there! On his blog<\/em><\/a>, Jim has described how these poems came to be written. Of note, Jim and his wife are now living in a much warmer place!<\/p>\n

A final happy note, at least from my perspective: Daylight Savings Time is almost here!!!! Sunday, March 8, is the day we will “spring forward” at 2:00am. One of my favorite days of the year!<\/p>\n
