Had some technical problems getting on “the News” channel today. Apologies for the late posting. That is assuming anybody is out there reading!
Yesterday (Wednesday) we got 1.2 inches of rain and hail in a matter of an hour. Total precip yesterday was 1.4 inches at Two Elk Lodge in Spanish Peaks. Heard higher readings in the area…as much as 2 inches. It was a real downpour. One of the biggest we have EVER seen here.
Big weekend of events. So much to do so little time. Texas BBQ noon-4 PM with Poncho and Lefty at the Timbers. That evening Vanilla Pop in the best lounge act ever @ 9 pm.
See you at Francisco Fort Days. The 50th anniversary of the Museum (not the fort).

It appears our pattern of weather is finally including the summer monsoons for Cuchara. Yesterday (Monday, July 21) the storms just erupted from the upper Cuchara Valley along the Sangres to well south of Taos. It was a quick devleoping storm that left 8/10 (0.8) inches of rain and hail at Two Elk Lodge in Spanish Peaks. The radar indicated that down the valley little if any precip was received.
On Sunday we recieved a nice 3/10 (0.3) inches of rain and hail in the afternoon. Forecasts call for good chances for the next several days and the tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico could feed the pipeline with more moisture to move north. Nice to see the moisture to cut the dust, reduce fire danger and green everything up nicely.

Annexation of ‘Northlands’ into Walsenburg was completed. Now the project moves into the phase of securing sewer and gas service to the area stretching north of the city to the northern interchange of I-25. With the annexation will come greater probablity of development as without sewer services, many development projects were stymied. The environmental risks, using alternatives to sewer, were too great to allow projects to advance. Now, it is expected that lodging, shopping and restaurants will be added to the Northland. Many developers are already considering programs. With 562 acres in the annexation, there is adequate room for projects to be developed.
