The advantage of a southern exposure is that a week of sun will do a
great job of snow removal.
Note that Neko is standing next to some open windows –
even with temperatures barely above freezing,
we sometimes open windows to keep from getting too warm inside.
Of course,
these clear skies in late February meant that skiing was not so good.
Snow got slushy and tracked up in the late afternoon then froze during
the night,
leaving icy ruts for the next morning.
The advantage of clear skies was that we got a good view of the lunar
eclipse.
As the moon entered the
umbra,
every coyote in the canyon
started to howl.
